I had it compiled in, I didn't knew it could be compiled as a module, I have tried compiling it as a module and DMA works ok, however the module along with ide-core are not removable as piix says it is being used. I have compiled the kernel again with ide modular and piix compiled in, just in case I had not done it that way before and in fact I had done it that way and I have verified that I had done it like that, DMA doesn't work as PIIX driver is not used, I don't see any PIIX4 messages or any BM-DMA ones when doing it this way, that is the problem. Hope this clarifies things a little bit. If you need any other info/test, don't hesitate to contact. Regards... -- Manty/BestiaTester -> http://manty.net
