This is just idle speculation but I doubt that the support for DMA data transfers with Triton I boards will work for the Triton II boards. I've given this consideration already since I'm planning on buying a Triton II board Real Soon Now and just don't care. I have a board with Triton I chipset right now but have never gotten around to setting CONFIG_BLK_DEV_TRITON in my kernel yet and so it wouldn't matter to me if that config option covered both chipsets. However I had not given consideration to the fact that the kernel might not run at all or would run flakey on such a board. Oh well, guess I'll find out in a couple weeks one way or another. :) I guess if nobody else has answered Lauri's original question then I shall also go ahead and enable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_TRITON and see if the Triton II DMA busmastering will work with the same driver as the Triton I.
