Re: Can't allocate DMA buffer
Hi,
I've encountered this problem too with a 2.0.36 kernel and a SB16
kernel module. Especially after handling large (300Mb) files in
xwave.
The following two messages found at dejanews:
<http://www.dejanews.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=213623376>
<http://www.dejanews.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=388651500>
provide methods for "fixing" this problem without rebooting. I have
not tested these tricks yet since the problem has not occured again on
my machine.
Another thing I read was what not using a kernel module might solve
this problem too. But I don't remember where I read this..
Good luck!
Regards,
Remco
