Brian Campbell: |You don't need to run -current to get IDE DMA. I've been running |John's DMA patches to -stable since this summer and haven't had |any problems. It'd be nice if they made it into -stable too ... IDE DMA wasn't the only reason I upgraded to -current. The number of cool -current features in general (incl. IDE DMA) had finally risen past my risk threshold, enough to chance moving to the 971208 -current SNAP. But right. I saw the -stable patches fly by last summer, but I figured I'd let the kernel developers and those more daring than I beat on them a while before I chanced my file system on them. So far I'm impressed with the stability of this SNAP. A few (very few) small bugs in some sysutils which I've reported, but no showstoppers and no panics/crashes/freezes yet. If anyone else is contemplating a -current switch, you might consider this SNAP. Randall
