Re: [Qemu-devel] [patch] non-blocking disk IO

[Ryan Rempel]

I've been using the non-blocking IO / DMA patch with a FreeBSD host
and Windows 98 guest. It seems to work well -- I haven't done any
benchmarking, but subjectively it seems to make a difference.

However, I tried enabling DMA in the Windows 98 system settings for
the C: drive, and that doesn't work -- when I reboot the emulator, it
stalls fairly early in the boot process.

Have others been able to get DMA working (with the patch) with Windows
98? Is there something I could to try to track down the problem
(assuming it is supposed to work).
