OK, I did a little googling:

it looks like the DMA for the OPTI 82C825 is broken in 2.4.20. According to the thread, it might have been fixed in 2.4.21. You can try upgrading to a Mantel kernel.
Charles Thanks Charles,
I googled a bit and found the message from Alan Cox. Just got onto downloading the 2.4.21 Mantel kernel and will try it in about 15 minutes when the download is done, then will give an update to this. Regards, Richard
