  I have a Buslogic BT 445s VLB SCSI Hostadapter and have a DMA problem:

  or SoundBlaster), so there should be enough free DMA channels.
  Please help!

Why do you want to use a DMA channel?  The 445S uses VLB bus-mastering to
do its work, and does not need a DMA channel assigned.  The ASPI driver is
merely reporting that fact, not complaining that it wants one and cannot
get it.  Other than this message, are you having a problem?
