</head><BODY ><div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">I just=
updated from 0.4.3 to 0.4.5 and had some troubles.</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">I have a mini-ITX=
with a Celeron, 512M memory, IDE to dual CF adapter and run on the CF card=
with a USB keydisk.</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">I purchased a new 2G=
CF (only had one) to upgrade so that I wouldn't loose the OPT partition (I=
know this is out, don't know why cuz I love it) on the old CF=
card.</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">I tried to install it=
using the ISO image from a CD, however, I kept getting a DMA error on the=
CF drive, errors during install (insufficient disk space) and errors on=
reboot (invalid sectors).</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">I finally got it to=
work when I placed the new CF card in the second slot, used the 0.4.3=
astlinux to fdisk, format and then install the img file=
directly.</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Good to say that I am=
running 0.4.5 right now.</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">I know that there=
were problems with DMA in astlinux and CF cards.  I noticed that=
despite what I have in the BIOS about IDE using DMA, the CF cards are=
coming up as DMA on the boot screen.</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style=3D"font-family:'Arial';font-size:10pt;">Is there some reason=
that DMA is enabled on the ISO install image?</SPAN></div>
