Hi When installing Mandrake 9, the installer hangs during package installation.
The motherboard has an SiS 730S chipset, including the 5513 IDE controller. Booting with ide=nodma allows installation to succeed. After installation, ide=nodma is needed to prevent further hangs. This is obviously a DMA related IDE bug :( No error messages are produced, the kernel is locked solid. Is anyone else seeing this? Nick
