My fault I accidentally replaced a PAGE_MASK with a PAGE_SIZE. the resulting bug only changes teh behaviour on unaligned pages which are only possible on the raw device. (e.g. fsck) the Cyrix 5530 we used to test has a bug where we cannot do unalligned transfers by DMA anyhow, so we never hit this bug.. fixed in -current .... will be fixxed in -stable when I reintroduce the patch... julian On Thu, 22 Jul 1999 sthaug@nethelp.no wrote: > > I'm experiencing serious problems with DMA (even normal DMA, not UDMA) > > on recent versions of -STABLE.
