versions this happened on: 4.8-release, 5.1-release, 5.1-current
with dma enabled, panics with anic errors occur left and right during
intensive hdd i/o... examples are during a non-minimal sysinstall, and
during a tar -xvf of the entire ports collection
this is on an asus a7v-ve (
http://www.h
with dma enabled, a sysinstall will only work under the minimal install,
and after a certain point, apparently using too much hard drive space
(showed up with a tar
-xvf ports.tar) causes a panic with anic errors
disabling dma seems to solve all of my problems (just runs slowly, of
course)
