Ubuntu Server 6.06.2 was the last server build I could install on that Sun Blade 100 (sparc64). All attempts at getting the IDE subsystem to disable DMA with kernels 2.6.24 and newer failed. As I mentioned above, I tried an exhaustive list of [kernel/IDE] options to disable DMA but was never able to complete an installation due to system hang (DMA issue). It seems to be a problem in the newer IDE subsystem specific to sparc64 builds ??
Unfortunately I no longer have that Sun box available for testing and have moved on to x86-based systems instead. -- Sparc64 Gutsy Kernel not recognizing ide=nodma https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159152 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
