> Yeah, I'd say also to check if you have ultra dma support in your kernel. There is no need to check. The only possible way to have a problem with UDMA access is to have UDMA support. If you don't have this compiled in then you are using PIO mode. IF you do and it times out you are also in PIO mode. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.
