Of course.

That's why DMA to Fastram does not work....

>1. I see no reason why the 32 bit wide FastRAM cannot be snooped.

KEWL!
Hey... that's a great solution :-)
But simply turning of the Cache on the ST-RAM did not work for me. There
must be something different (someone told something about cached
hardware-register!?)

>Further the 16 bit wide RAM should only be used for special purposes
>(Graphics, DMA-Buffers, Swap-space)
With a graphics card even not for graphic!)
I will try the without-anything kernel sometime later this day and post the
results here.

Bye, Thomas
