while installing gentoo 2004.0 i installed the latest version of 2.6.4 and when i boot i get this error

***************************************
dma not enabled this can seriously slow down the fsck process!!!!
***************************************
then after small pause continues

why is dma not enabled? how do i enable it?

this is my second install of gentoo with kern 2.6.4 and last time it didnt give me this error

SOLVED

some how among other screw ups (many things i selected as built in were done as modules)

including reiserfs support which my root filesystem is


at the bottom of >device drivers>ata/atapi/mfm/rll support> in the kernel config

some things were enabled that shouldnt have been but the dma was solved by enabling via82xxx chipset support
