This fix things fine for me. What' s your /proc/dma? I only have the AWE32
as device that uses dma (and the hd of course but no problem from it). If
you have other devices that uses dma it can be that that crash your
system.
Is it definitely an hardware bug? Does we should replace our motherboard
(again in my case) or this can be called a feature and fix the kernel for
it?
