I suggest you use www.google.com/linux and type in "2.6.7 DMA" (without 
quotes), lots of hints there on 2.6.x kernels and DMA.

I would go as far as saying its NOT you or your hardware at fault,many have 
problems with DMA and friends at the minute.
One draw back of using an up to date kernel which has not been widely tested.
