Exactly the same hardware combination made no dma probs at all with SuSE 8.1 & 8.2.
What am I doing wrong / which additional information should I post ?
Probably nothing! What is your motherboard chipset?
Hi,
Board is a asus A7A266 ALi MAGiK1 DDR chipset 1647
thanks a lot - I wouldn't have been able to locate the cause - it seems to be a known problem. ( http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0202.1/1439.html )
Hi again, I just tried the knoppix cd I recently made. It uses some Debian kernel 2.4.22 and it allows me to set the dma on my Compaq. So as far as I'm concerned the SuSE kernel is the problem. You might give that a try and see if your machine will do dma with Knoppix. Now I wonder how difficult and how much I will screw up by copying the Knoppix kernel over to my hd.... Bet you I find out real quick! regards, Richard
