Re: 2.4.0-test1 ALI 15x3 DMA error

Whoah! I'm getting the same thing now, I think. Same driver and kernel,
-test1 without any ac patches.

This chipset is NOT supported by Acer's M15x3 driver, and according to
Acer technical support does not support udma modes. I JUST got this error
after nearly two days of uptime, while having xv scan a directory with
about 1500 files in it over my local network. I did not have any problem
doing the exact same scan about half an hour previous.

Foo?

I'm going to be trying ac16 soon too. I just wanted to see if -test1 would
stay up for 2 days.
