Hi there,
make oldconfig from 2.6.17.11 to 2.6.18-rc5: This help text doesn't say what the right choice should be? Unclear to me anyway, so I take the default, is that bad for an x86 32-bit box? " * DMA Engine support * Support for DMA engines (DMA_ENGINE) [N/y/?] (NEW) ?
DMA engines offload copy operations from the CPU to dedicated hardware, allowing the copies to happen asynchronously.
