Someone else on the list may be able to help you with this. For obvious reasons (I work for SuSE) I cannot. The "not 100% native mode" statement means there is another bus besides and ISA bus...meaning a PCI bus.

so i can now understand why i can not start the DMA on my computer!

But now: how i can resolve this problem?

What does your BIOS settings look like is the are your HD working with DMA UDMA what ever is there <p>> With the new realese of the Kernel? I have now the 2.2.13.

Upgrading the kernel will help you catch up with the security points and possibly new features but not absolutely necessary to get your DMA on it is Hardware related as fas as I see -- Togan Muftuoglu toganm@turk.net 100% MS FREE Absolutely no component of Microsoft was used in the generation or posting of this e-mail.
