Subject: DMA timeouts & errors when using Sandisk CF for root.
Date: Fri, 03 Jun 2005 16:49:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <42A0EC6E.7060108@candelatech.com> (raw)

I have a small VIA based system with a 512MB CF disk for
the 'hard drive'.  It seems to work OK, but I am getting some
DMA timeouts and errors upon boot.

kernel is 2.6.11.  I saw the same problem with FC2's 2.6.5 default kernel.

 From dmesg:
