I think its because I have no PCI or PCI_PERMEDIA mcompiled in. 

___dma_getp has an #ifdef CONFIG_AMIGA that forces the use of
__get_free_pages (via a #define) instead of pci_get_consistent.

___dma_freep always uses pci_get_consistent.

A monolithic 2.4.18 kernel, I don't have your latest cache patch - I'll
get it.

As for dmesg I don't have one at the moment because I added the needed
free_page call in ___dma_freep and I'm running the gcc 2.95.2 compiled 
2.4.18 test kernel at this instant. I can give you a dmesg when I return
to my normal + 53c770 config.

The driver doesn't seem to be initialising or at least not finding the
drive in the test kernel.
