Thanks Alan, now dma works perfect! How come this code isn't in the official 2.4.20 kernel?
The only strange thing now is that uname doesn't know my cpu:
starbase:/# uname -a Linux starbase 2.4.20-ac1 #1 Sam Nov 30 18:43:15 CET 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux starbase:/#
But it gets recognized during boot:
starbase:/# dmesg | grep -i AMD CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+ stepping 00 starbase:/#
starbase:/# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i AMD vendor_id : AuthenticAMD model name : AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+ starbase:/#
But hey, I can live with that - I have dma now :-) Just curious, what's causing this.
Thanks so much... Patrick
