I know. But it is posible that the #ifdef'd code for SMP is somehow affecting whether DMA is on or off. Or possibly affecting other performance. I expect it to be slightly worse with SMP because of the semaphore overhead. > You do not have activated DMA in this kernel (using_dma = 0 (off)) Yes, but why not? That is the stock bf24 kernel. Why is DMA off with the stock bf24 kernel? Why does recompiling it locally using the same configuration enable DMA? I don't know.

If you have an FIC motherboard you should know to be able to find all of the specs on the FIC home page. http://www.fic.com.tw/fic/products/mainboards/mbspec/sd11/sd11intro.htm Bob
