Hello,

I'm back home now. I just tried disabling CPU Frequency scaling  
again. The machine is running now for about 3 hours. I haven't seen  
any DMA error yet but I can see already artefacts and corrupted mpg  
video. Usually this happens just before the DMA errors come up. Do  
you have this behavior on your setups? Could someone with a working  
setup please attach or upload a kernel config file? I hope I can find  
out some more settings that cause this problem.

Michael
