I'm not sure if it's in all 2.0 versions but I definitely think it's a bug. IMHO Linux should be able to preempt some memory pages from other processes to fulfil the request for DMA memory. What do you think?
# mcopy rtc.c a: floppy0: Unable to allocate DMA memory Can't open /dev/fd0: No such device or address Cannot initialize 'A:' Bad target # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 63132 59804 3328 9500 5856 27856 -/+ buffers: 26092 37040 Swap: 48640 8888 39752
