JC >>what mask to use to restrict DMA to chip ram only?<< I was under the impression that a MASK of 0xfffffe, would restrict DMA to the first 2-megs of address space. You might try 0xffffe. Also, you have to set the MASK for EACH partition. If you have multiple partitions, but only limit the DMA MASK on the first partition, the other partitions could still try to access a larger DMA area, and be causingthe lockups.
