That seems to work nicely :) I've used "dpkg -i" to install the new kernel and aufs modules. I don't use wifi so no madwifi updates required.
I've commented out the /etc/modprobe.d/ bits that passed the ide=nodma options to the ide_core module. I've rebuilt the initrd to ensure the above changes are actually used. Rebooted, confirmed issue with DMA occurs (DMA errors probing the ide controllers/disks, eventually gives up and disables DMA automatically). Rebooted again, this time feeding "ide=nodma" to the kernel from grub. No issues during start up :) Can I assume this or a similar kernel will make it into the repositories shortly so a simple "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" would have the same affect? Thanks for your efforts, much appreciated :) Dylan On Mon, 2009-03-09 at 10:41 +0800, Kim-man 'Punky' TSE wrote: > Hi Dylan > > The kernel has been rebuilt to make ide-core recompiled as in-kernel > module.
