Re: GCC Compile problems relating to DMA
Thanks for the reply. I booted off of the rescue disk (I only have one partition, so I couldn't have it mounted while I tried to fsck it). Running fsck simply came back with device clean... do I need to send any flags? Someone also suggested that I disable DMA on the drive via hdparm -d 0 /dev/hdb. I tried this, but that simply changes the error from dma_intr to read_intr, which I believe seems to correlate that something is in fact wrong with a sector on the disk.

GCC Compile problems relating to DMA
I recently installed slink, with gcc v2.7.2.3. Any attempts to do any compiling with gcc fail with a series of hard drive errors which seem to releate to some sort of DMA error (ie., hdb: dma_intr ). I apologize for not having the whole error here. I have two Western Digital IDE drives installed, one a newer 6.4gig UDMA drive, and an older 1.6gig DMA drive. slink is installed on the smaller 1.6 drive (/dev/hdb3). The drives are detected correctly in the bootup message and I have seen no other errors thus far... but I'm unfortunately in great need of gcc locally at the moment! Any pointers/tips/fixes would be GREATLY appreciated ASAP. Scott J. Geertgens
