hummmmm, maybe so...put dma back in...just keep on tweaking and building
the sys up and see what gives....in back my mind tho, if in this
instance, this problem is real and repeats. what is to say that some
package that might be run, after the system is configured, surfaces the
dma problem again? I dunno...guess it's damned if you do and damned if
you don't kinda deal.

after it finishes this install, I will tweak the grub.conf and run it a
bit just for reference but I am prone to swapping out this motherboard
and shoot for a perfect install. If I didn't have the hardware on
hand...be different but I do have a brand new mb just itching to run
something lol.

thx
