Hi! I have a somewhat strange problem at home. Lately, I decided to finally update my kernel from 2.4.27 to 2.6.18 (actually now it would be 2.6.21, but when I tried it was 2.6.18). I installed the source package, compiled the kernel as I used to with the previous one (didn't change much the confi

Some updates: recompiled the kernels without the VIA driver (actually, compiled as a module but not loaded). With 2.4.27, I don't have the CRC errors anymore, though I can't get DMA to work (is because I load the generic PCI driver afterwards?). With 2.6.18, I get this: VFS: Cannot open root dev
