[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#963607: xen-hypervisor-4.11-amd64: Xen Hypervisor kernel fails to load arcmsr module with "arcmsr0: dma_alloc_coherent got error" message.

[Alex Sanderson]

Hi Hans,

I ended up replacing the card with an mpt3 card and haven't had any 
issues since.  The problem was not resolved with the Areca 1882 but I 
guess it will be buried in history :)

Thanks for your assistance and patience,

Alex
