I've been having this same problem, but apparently my VIA version doesn't match 82CXXX, so I'm completely dead in the water for DMA (I know, VIA is bad). I want to buy a PCI IDE controller card that will support DMA, will this solve my problem? If so, what kind should I get so it will be Debian-compatible? Any suggestions? If someone out there is using Debian and a PCI IDE controller, I'd love to hear from you. -- Aaron Bieber - Graphic Design // Web Design http://www.core-dev.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
