What does it do "wrong" anyway? IIRC, DMA in general works... Also note that since SCSI does not support DMA, I wouldn't consider lack of DMA for ide-scsi a bug. Just because the underlying device is IDE and has DMA support doesn't mean that the SCSI layer (which has no reason for DMA) should use it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
