Hi All, I found this document:
http://thomer.com/linux/migrate-to-2.6.html very useful while migrating to Linux 2.6.3. on my machine. RedHat has some freaky reaction to this migration because names of some modules have changed and the new kernel has some rather exciting new features which RedHat creators did not anticipate. Another useful thing (one that made me migrate in the first place) is a patch to the 2.6.3 kernel (it only works with 2.6.3!!!) that add support for ATI IXP IDE controllers, which become more and more popular among motherboard designers: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/bart/atiixp_ide/ The way it worked for me is: 1) I downloaded both patches 2) Went into /usr/src/linux-2.6.3 3) Ran patch `-p1 < atiixp_ide-2.6.3-1.patch' 4) Ran patch `-p1 < atiixp_ide-2.6.3-2.patch' 5) `make menuconfig' 6) Go to Device Drivers -> ATA and mark "ATI IXP Support" to compile into the kernel. 7) Make and install the new kernel. 8) UDMA access is there:) So long the DMA access problem for P4R800-VM motherboard, I guess:) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
