Hey guys; I'm back to using FreeBSD, after my major hardware upgrade seriously broke everything (teach me to optimise...) I've stuck it on my xbox for now, and it runs like a charm, of course, except it complains then dies on boot about the HDD having problems with DMA. It's only using a 40-conductor cable, and 80 works fine, but the cable is a special length; I need to use the provided one to shut the case! Is there _any_ way to disable ata DMA at kernel compile time? Remembering that Cromwell won't support loader.... Thanks a lot Chris -- One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C Programs.
