I guess I was in this list 10 years ago when it started. Unfortunately although I used Linux more than a decade it still eludes me mainly because I hate computers in general.
The question that lingers in my mind is: why does Linux still have the same bugs that existed years ago coming back again and again?
One problem I have at boot: ****************************************************** * Warning: The dma on your hard drive is turned off. * * This may really slow down the fsck process. * ****************************************************** I put PIIX module in initrd, compiled custom kernel, googled all around to no avail. Also changed PIIX=y in .config file. hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb works a minute and dma changes to (0) by itself.
I have no clue what the above means, but for your DMA issue, simply turn it on.
