thosew are all normal messages, they are not PCI errors, the system is just telling you it doesnt recognize the ide controller(which is fine its not some obscure controller) and that the bios is set to disable DMA transfers on both ide channels. you should be able to turn it on again in the bios if you want. it won't hurt it either way, but DMA transfers will improve performance and lower cpu % during I/O transactions nothing to worry about. alemas > alemas > And BTW, you should see this thang compile a kernel! ...less alemas >than 10 minutes on a mainboard and processor that were dirt-cheep! not bad :) ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 11:41am up 109 days, 23:25, 3 users, load average: 1.49, 1.57, 1.63
