Actually I want DMA enabled and by switching DMA off I would like to see if there still appears some errors, but I think a better ideea is to check with smartctl.  I use the latest kernel 2.6.17.13 and I have ATIIXP chipset.  On 9/26/06, Matus UHLAR - fantomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Andras Lo
