I just installed FreeBSD-7 on an amd64 box. The new motherboard has firewire builtin.
I wanted to disable dma via firewire, but as soon as I add hw.firewire.phydma_enable=0 to /boot/loader.conf (which is what the man page suggests) The box hangs on boot. It detects the firewire controller, after that the sata disk and then hangs. Is this a known problem? Is there anything I can do to help debug this? Lastly, if this is not easily fixable, would removing the firewire driver from my kernel disable the DMA attack? CU, Sec -- Whatever the virtues of balance, it's just a pleasant form of insanity. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
