[CentOS] CentOS 4.4 on mini-itx

Hi,

I have a EPIA mini-itx board that I have been running Fedora 4 on. I want to
install CentOS 4.4 on it since FC4 is no longer supported. The install goes fine
but when I reboot the machine after the install I get errors like the following:

hda:<4>hda: dma_timer_Expiry : dma status == 0x21

There are other errors about not being able to access the disk and eventually
the kernel panics.

The disk is a 4 gig compact flash. I used a 1 gig chip for FC4 so I know the
thing will run from a flash chip.

Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work? Is there a way to turn off
dma?

Has anyone else tried this?

Regards,
