[ILUG] Just an update

[John Madden]

Ok,

Just in case anyone will be looking for this in future I said
I'd post some of my results with recent problems.

First, a couple of months ago I had a problem with this error, after
compiling 2.4.0 and using the ne module for my ethernet card:

	eth0: trigger_send() called with the transmitter busy.
	Hw, address read/write mismap 0
	Hw, address read/write mismap 1
	Hw, address read/write mismap 2
	Hw, address read/write mismap 3
	Hw, address read/write mismap 4
	Hw, address read/write mismap 5

I don't know where this came from but it disappeared when I
removed the options ne line from /etc/modules.conf

The second recent problem was with regard to my cd-rom under 2.4.9.
I was getting an error something like ide_proc_dma something or other
and the computer was hanging.

I recompiled the kernel from scratch and left out the following and it
sorted the problem:

	ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL Support --->
	        IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block Devices -->
		                [ ]  Use PCI DMA by default when available

That's about it. Just for people who have either of these problems in
future.

On a side note, I still haven't gotten XFree86 4.1.0 to work properly.
But that's for another day!!
