I run Gentoo on the EPIA system I have. Compiled from source... I did encounter DMA problems twice, in the following circumstances: - Copying large files to a USB disk. I suspected this was more due to the USB-IDE controller in the enclosure being of low quality. Swapped disk to other enclosure and never had trouble again. - Copying large files to the disk using samba. I do not do that anymore, al my file transfers over the lan are with scp now. I copy large files on a regular basis, without any problems now.
