SGlist with a 2 byte boundary error on the FIFO's 510-511 or is 509-510 It all is determined on if 1 or 0 is starting as the counting number. The FIFO flush to generate the interrupt is a DMA quirk. Similar to the the 8K FIFO Phy issues in SATA. Buy me a Coke (Red Can, no BLUE Crap) and we can discuss the issues.
