SubjectRe: USB storage does not work with 3GB of RAM, but does with 2G of RAM
Date
Do you know if there is a way to tell the ehci driver to do the DMA at a 
lower memory address? i.e. tell the kernel to reserve a block of memory (as
a boot option) and then tell the ehci driver to use that area of RAM
instead?

Thanks again for your help,

Jon
