Hi, I have recently been playing with kernel 2.6, and everything works perfectly except DMA. The dmesg output shows the devices as UDMA(100), but when I copy files or do anything I/O intensive, the CPU usage reported goes to 100%. I have an ABit KD7 motherboard with a Via KT400 chipset. I've tried both custom 2.6.1 kernel and the kernel-image-2.6.0-1-k7 kernel. I haven't had any problems with 2.4.22. (lspci and dmesg output below).
Any suggestions? If this is the wrong place to ask this question please point me in the right direction. Thanks, Mitchell 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
