Hello,
We've tried both 2.6.33 and DENX-v2.6.33.1, and we haven't managed to
successfully use any form of DMA with the TQM5200 and a CompactFlash
card. We know the CF card supports DMA (or, at least, it says "UDMA"
right on the card, and various reports say Lexar Professional CF cards
do DMA), but the kernel always puts the card in PIO4 mode. We tried
libata.force=mwdma2 and libata.force=udma2 , and many other modes, but
this always led to failures like this:

We have the MPC5200C revision of the silicon.
Does this sound like a known issue? Can we do anything to troubleshoot
this further?
Thanks,
