No. I'm not sure that it has support for DMA on this motherboard. I'm using 8.0 so of course it may very well not have it. I used "hdparm -Xudma2" on hda and it says "-X: missing value" and doesn't do squat to the device. This kinda sucks. I kinda jumped the gun on this upgrade. I was going to wait for 8.2 to hit the Oakland SuSE office before doing this and I was just going to do a fresh install. *sigh* -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
