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.

Installed the Mantel 2.4.21-4 kernel. Does not fix my problem. Still no DMA on the OPTI 82C825. Dont know if it fixed the Toshiba though. Richard
