What kind of motherboard and peripherals are you using? AKAIK the mediagx only supports one external pci busmaster and only on a specific "device".
We are using mediaGXm on ETX and had problems with the wiring of the TVIA CyberPro5050 (combined video+audio controller, audio as busmaster)
Then there are also tweaks in the PCI IDE configuration for mediaGX. Did you enable that? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
