Hi me again... ;) Well now I correctly hook the interrupts, they are correctly reflected back to the BIOS and I can write to the disk without a problem. When DMA is on, however, reading fails (it works when DMA is off in the BIOS). This is obviously a DMA problem and for some reason the machine does not read the correct page value. The problem is that the Virtual 8086 monitor makes an "invalidate page" call when the operation is finished and my buffers are loaded into a DMA mapping and I do the proper pre/post synchronization, I've even tried with reversed sync in case I got it wrong. I think the problem is a lack of understanding on my side about how DMA works in FreeBSD. What I do is I have a parent tag and two child tags (one for reading the other for writing), I do : bus_dma_tag_create -> bus_dmamap_create Later I do contigmalloc of my buffer and I load this buffer with bus_dmamap_load. I do bus_dmamap_sync before and after the call the BIOS. The writes are succesfull but the read buffer is left untouched. What do I do wrong? What is the exact use of the callback? Thanks for any hint.
