#5979: need to disable DMA --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: donn | Owner: marcusoverhagen Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Drivers/Disk | Version: R1/alpha2 Keywords: | Blockedby: Patch: 0 | Platform: x86 Blocking: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment(by donn): Appears to actually be a DHCP problem! If I wait long enough, the system becomes usable enough to reconfigure the network server to static, and that solves the problem. (I'm now at 37181.) It "helps" to disable IDE DMA, because when I do this the system eventually boots with a whacked network server configuration that (usually?) is static instead of DHCP (and may feature the wrong network device, and other anomalies.) I'm not sure this is interesting, but I will leave this ticket open in case someone else thinks it is. New ticket focused on DHCP problem is #6205. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5979#comment:1> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
