Only fix is reboot actually. Ready to patch :) PS. i have a bug similar to: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6038 (marked as blocking by Andrew) on my laptop. but my dma expiry problem only happens during suspend. I have a Sis 630 chipset with a 2.5" hitachi drive. Been there...for ages..i can say: always...never got a working 2.6 kernel. However in my poor opinion it's not blocking on my system, just boring.
