Yes, because ATM i don't know why it doesn't work. It's just for debugging.

The 64-bit DMA is only available on Adaptec controllers, all other I2O
controllers only work with 32-bit DMA. Although the 64-bit DMA is (as far
as i can remember) slower then the 32-bit DMA and is therefore only
useful on systems which run out of memory.


Best regards,
