Erik & Grant,

I think I have finally tracked this problem down... I don't think it is a bug
in either the ccio-dma or the sym53c8xx driver.... I believe it is a sizing
issue with the IO PDIR in the ccio-dma.  I spent some time last week
increasing the density of the IO PDIR by 4x ... it looks like I still have some
work to do :)

I increased the the IO PDIR ratio to main memory by 4x and I can
successfully format a 4G partition in my C200+.  (When I bumped
the IO PDIR ratio by 2x, is still had problems...)

Erik ... I've attached a small patch for you to try and see if it works for
you.

Thanks,

- Ryan
