MPC5200 : dma and IDE

[Gaël Martin]

Hello,

I am using linux on a MPC5200 Lite board. When I activate the DMA on IDE bus
and try to access to the disk, I have a kernel panic. I have seen in the
m5xxx.c that DMA is disabled until it will work.
Does anybody has a patch for this or should it be done ? If anyone already
has work on this problem, is it possible to share informations to fix it ?

Indeed this is a known problem which cannot be fixed with the current
version of the BestComm microcode.

You will have to wait for the next version of the BestComm code.
