I'm running XPE on a Compactflash connected to the IDE bus of a PC104
motherboard; the motherboard is equipped with the Intel 815 chipset, and
the XPE driver for the IDE controller (detected by TAP) is the "82801BA
Ultra ATA Controller".
I've tried with several CompactFlash models, but I haven't been able to
enable the DMA mode for any of them; I'm always stuck with PIO mode and a
sad transfer rate of 2 or 3 MB/s. The models I've tried are (supposedly)
known to support DMA mode (Sandisk Extreme III, several Transcend, and
others), and I'm having the same problem also with a normal hard disk, so
I'm starting to believe it could be a driver problem. If I try to install
the Intel Ultra Ata Storage Driver, the system is no longer able to boot,
it freezer forever on the Windows XP splash screen.
Do you have any suggestions? Diagnostics to run, registry keys to check,
drivers to install...
Thank you!
