PCI DMA problem

I should have added that the PCI controller on the card is the AMCC S5933QE 
and the problemn occurs when the S5933 performs bus mastering to host 
memory.  AMCC have some errata that describe the problem I am seeing but the 
solutions are not quick fixes.  Has anyone used the S5933 and had similiar 
problems.

Many thanks
