No DMA => slow slow slow. Will feel very unresponsive under high disk I/O. Will result in horrible system performance and high load averages (because the kernel is waiting on the hardware to say "I'm finished writing all that data that you gave to me"). > I should be able to install the new cooker kernel separately right? so > I can choose what kernel I want to boot? Yes. Install it, *NOT* upgrade it. But: (there's always a but) <soapbox> The kernel should be the only package you try this with. In other words, don't download the latest Mozilla or Samba package from Cooker and expect it to work. It won't. Cooker is using a different version of gcc which results in different libstdc++ libs which means none of your graphical apps will work. Some of the text based ones *might*, but I'm telling you and everybody else now: Don't do it. You're creating so much heartache for yourself that it defies explanation why we, even as sadistic as we are, would do such a thing. </soapbox> Blue skies...
