Thanks Rick. Your observations seems true. I unselected the Triton DMA
support and so far I have not seen those error messages. Somehow the
developer of this module ought to know about this problem.
I think it may also have to do with a system that has a SCSI disk. Does
everyone experiencing this problem have a SCSI disk? I have several Debian
machines and I only see this problem with machines that have a SCSI disk.
