Re: ISA DMA

Hi

Seems like you are facing the same problem as i do. But IIRC i think you
have to adjust the code in include/asm/dma.h (and possibly other places)
as well (at least in 2.4.14, not sure about the later kernels).

BTW:

What south bridge do you use? Some of the newer ones offer 32bit
addressing capability for DMA.

The current 2.4-devel tree never assigns any memory to the ISA DMA zone,
irrespective of the setting of ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD. As I'm currently
trying to get a floppy working on a platform with 24-bit ISA DMA in its
Southbridge, this looks like a problem.

How do people feel about the attached patch? This should only change
behavior for platforms which set ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD to a value other than
0 or (-1)L.
