Does anyone know if it is possible to disable DMA in the Haiku boot script permanently. My system boots and runs fine with it disabled in the safe mode menu, but disabling it in the bios doesn’t work. It would be really helpful to disable it permanently so I would have to boot through safe mode options every time.

Thanks,

I quickly searched but could not find an option to turn off DMA.

If anywhere, it should have been in:
/boot/home/config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel file
but I saw nothing in there for it.

You should ask on the General mailing list to get a developer reply back.

I found this on The Haiku/BeOS Tip Server
