DMA timeouts & errors when using Sandisk CF for root.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a small VIA based system with a 512MB CF disk for
the 'hard drive'.  It seems to work OK, but I am getting some
DMA timeouts and errors upon boot.

kernel is 2.6.11.  I saw the same problem with FC2's 2.6.5 default kernel.

From dmesg:
