Well I looked more closely and this appears to just be because the buffer memory is being allocated above 16MB, and the driver only provides 24 bits of address to the adaptor. Is it easy to make the driver use bounce buffers? A better alternative for those variants of the Am79* that support it seems to be to put them in a mode that accepts 32 bit addresses, but that would require more work. Incidentally, what changed between 3.1-RELEASE and 3.1-19990407-STABLE that makes the memory be allocated above 16MB? -- Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
