Hi, I am now using an older Fujitsu disk (I'll buy a new one eventually). I disabled DMA access in the BIOS but the logfile during installation says that DMA is used :-(
I tried to pass ide0=nodma to the kernel, as you suggest, but the syntax must be different because the kernel complains about a "BAD OPTION" And the installation still stops with an IO error... Other ideas ?
