dma0: errorempty FIFI of 16
dma0: erroremtpy FIFO of 1

These flood the console and /var/log/messages and generally slow down the
system.

Anyone else seen this problem ? I am using the distributed kernel and have
not yet had time to load the source tree and complie a custom kernel.

SLCs, ELCs and IPXs seem to suffer from this problem from what I have
seen. If anybody is working on this problem I'd like to help in whatever
way I can. Unfortunatly I don't know enough of the kernel internals to
find the error myself.
