Hi, Perhaps adding "ide=nodma" to kernel boot parameter in /boot/grub/menu.lst is better.

Hello, I encountered an issue with the nodma kernel option not working with WRAP. It's an issue that apparently some have laready been dealing with as the following threat suggests: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.voyage.general/2811 Apparently the issue is that ide is not compiled into the kernel. There are two options: 1. run the following: remountrw echo 'options ide_core options="ide=nodma"'> /etc/modprobe.d/ide update-initramfs -u remountro to update the init image with the nodma option passed to the module. Although I do not know the reason, this does not work for me with the latest voyage release (0.6.5). The system still waits with those DMA expiry messages and the boot takes quite a long time. 2. Have the kernel recompiled with ide compiled in. Unfortunately the kernels provided under the thread above are no longer available and the ones that are currently under "experimental" directory do not change anything with respcet to the nodma option. Is there any other solution or would it be possible to provide a voyage kernel with ide complied in? Thank you very much.
