2.6.9 had a bug for dma in piix, it's borked for that hardware! please try more recent 2.6.10 kernel-image from unstable. there it is known to work for piix chips unless you have irq routing troubles. please upgrade and send 2.6.10 dmesg. thanks for your feedback and thanks to philip armstrong for digging that bugreport. :-) a++ maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
