	Oh, yeah, because a problem with a DMA error always means dead hardware.

Bzzzt.  Thank you for playing.

However, to keep this from happening, look at wd(4), you can force DMA that
way.  

There's a lot of drives and motherboards out there that don't interact
properly when it comes to DMA.  It could also be a crappy cable, too.

And I'd put more money on still having the problem if you replace the
motherboard with a AMD board, esp with a SIS chipset.

To the original poster, as for the actual building problem, as someone else
pointed out, you're not doing a make depend first.  

Try that.
