FYI: The EISA spec requires DMA above 16M to work correctly.  If your EISA
box doesn't do this, it's not an EISA box.  Period.  The connectors do not
define EISA, the spec does.

I'm betting this is a NiCE or other motherboard with a HiNT chipset.

I think you will have to build a new kernel to work around the problem
(by forcing the use of bounce buffers).
