I have seen that, too.

The problem started with the changes introduced by SMPNG. In the first
place I didn't see that messages and just wondered why my sondcard
(AWE64) didn't work any more.

I remembered, that I had this problem long time ago (over a year) with
the current sources (pre 5). I twiddled with the MAXMEM setings of my
SMP Box. After reducing the physical memory from 512MB down to 440MB,
the system was successful with the isa_dmainit.

As far as I could track down the problem, it has to do with the
contigmalloc routine, not able to get memory in the physical first
16MB.

It is just my assumption that something had changed in the way how
memory get mapped in first place by the kernel.

Reagrds,
	Frank
