I am having problems with the 2.4.20-20.9smp kernel because it
apparently doesn't have good support for DMA with my Serial-ATA drives.
I was thinking of moving to either the 2.6.0-test11 or 2.4.23 kernel to
get DMA working.
I'll try them both and report back with my experiences, especially in
2.6-land.
My hardware setup:
AMD 2800+
512 MB DDR 433 RAM
160 Gig Seagate Barracuda ST3160023AS
old circa-1998 Happauge WinTV card (works fine!)
ATi Radeon 9200 w/TV-out
ATi Remote Wonder (from my 9800 AiW on another PC) -- also works fine!
