Well, there are three facts that lead me to believe that this might not be the problem. Firstly, I never get these DMA timeouts with the laptop hard drives. Secondly I get the timeouts also with microdrive in the CF socket yet it boots and works fine. Thirdly if I boot from floppy with the microdrive on IDE I get the timeouts but it works fine. The timeouts only happen with microdrive and in all other cases aside from usage of the CF/IDE adapter it works after the third timeout. When using the CF/IDE adapter the kernel panics. Perhaps it needs some kprozac <g> > Look in the kernel ocnfiguration if your IDE > chipset is mentionned. How do I do that, my running make oldconfig in the /usr/src/linux directrory?
