That's interesting, in light of the other message I just sent (i.e., DMA enabled in BIOS, but *not* detected by the kernel). What version of the BIOS are you running? I'm still on the 1003b, because I've heard a few horror stories about 1004 that have put me off upgrading. I'm on kernel 2.4.4, with Athlon optimizations. > > The routing to IQR 0 sounds funny to me, but this is already way beyond > > what I understand. > > Do you have the PnP operating system setting in the BIOS turned off? > (ie. telling the BIOS you have non-PnP aware O/S) I noticed that prior > to doing this, all of my PCI cards were listed as IRo 0. I think I tried it both ways earlier. At any rate, since I had to reboot to check the DMA settings I went ahead and set it back to 'off', and it still says the same thing.
