Hi Alan,

Actually the failures occur at addresses lot higher than this range, I am noticing the failure at dma address 0x0000000037845000. This would be at around 900MB ?

Thanks

Sanka

Assuming the failures are in the range 640K-1MB then I would imagine your
bridge doesn't permit transfers via DMA to the ISA hole.
