To trigger the warning, I can run the Areca command line utility "cli64" which is some presumably closed source RAID management tool. Or at least it was a binary download. Running it and asking what disks are attached to the controller "rsf info" triggers the warning. I have no idea if this warning matters in the slightest, but thought it best to report. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- dma warning in hardy kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
