Any chance this issue will be resolved in the next release (8.x / Hardy
Heron)? I have an old Sun Blade 100 with Solaris 10 installed. I was
hoping to install the Ubuntu [LAMP] server until I read of this problem
in kernel bundled with 7.10. It apparently affects all platforms that
cannot support DMA -- I have read of issues in sparc builds, and the
above suggests it also affects x86 builds?

I'd ask the importance be upped as this can be an Ubuntu deal-breaker
for older hardware. If the kernel team can give me a little info about
where to find the source, I can take a look and see if I can help spot
any particular changes that might have caused this. Meanwhile, I'll dig
around a bit and see what I can find.

Thanks--Ron
