Thanks. That is what I was looking for. My real reason for asking ... I was getting disk corruption with an older kernel (2.4.8 or 2.4.18, Mandrake). A colleague said it might have something to do with a hardware bug (south bridge VIA VT82C686). He also said there was a fix in recent kernels. I thought it was bad memory. It did have CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y . The workaround was to disable DMA. As expected, it has now been reliable but slow. I have since installed Debian, with 2.4.20-bf2.4, and now I wonder if it is safe to re-enable DMA. > Lots of good documentation about the Debian way of installing > kernels in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/*. That module wasn't installed here. I will look. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
