DMA Transfer problem

Hello,

Im having problems with DMA transfer on Linux, for an ADC card. The card is AxiomTek AX5621H, and can use DMA channels 1 and 3. I tried both the channels, but the DMA transfers are irregular (i.e.) at different speeds (which of course is not acceptable, since that application is time critical). The device driver (which I wrote) seems to work fine for all the other systems I tried it on. But this problem occurs only on one particular model of computer (Chino-Laxsons Pentium-4 boards). I tried another system with the same configuration, but the same resulted. After some time of execution, I get the kernel panic screen, which says the CPU context is corrupt. Please help me with this problem, as I need to get this driver working somehow on the P4 systems. I tried the Redhat-9 kernel (2.4.20-8) and the debian kernel too (2.2.20).... gave the same results.

Thanks in advance,
Harish.
