ASUS , Intel and DMA Error

[kolucoms6]

I earlier bought AMD 5600 with ASUS Motherboard but couldnt install Vicidialnow as It gave me DMA Error.

Configuration was :

Processor : AMD 5600
Mothervboard : ASUS M2N A78
HDD : SATA 250 GB Seagate
Ram : Transcend DDR2 800 Freq 2GB

As I didnt get work, so I have bought anotger system :

Configuration is :

Processor : Intel Core2Duo e7200
Mothervboard : Intel DL31 GL
HDD : SATA 250 GB Seagate
Ram : DDR2 800 Freq 2GB

I thought it can be due to HDD , So, I replaced 250 GB HDD with 80 GB , but I get same Error.

What could be the reason ?

I am GOING mad now

can you post the exact eror you are having?

1) ide-cd : cmd 0*28 timeout
2) hda : DMA timeout
3) hda : statuis timeout : status= 0xd0
4) ide : failed opcode was : unknown
5) hda : drive not ready timeout
6) hda : ATAPI reset complete

Just a thought, Vicidialnow doesnt support 800 Frequency RAM ?

I tried changing RAM from Transcend 800 to Foxin 667 , but it remains same.

Now, I doubt on CD Drive as MAIN culprit.

Can you test if centos 5.2 will work with your hardware? if it will test it with centos 5.1 and give us feedback.

thanks
