Hans,
1. ALIX board reports the following that shows DMA support:

AMD5536: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:0f.2
AMD5536: chipset revision 1
AMD5536: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
AMD5536: 0000:00:0f.2 (rev 01) UDMA100 controller
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xff00-0xff07, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: CF 512MB, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
Probing IDE interface ide1...
hda: max request size: 128KiB
hda: 1015056 sectors (519 MB) w/1KiB Cache, CHS=1007/16/63, DMA
 hda: hda1

2. That means geodewdt does not work with net5501 at the moment.  I will 
remove geodewdt in net5501 profile in voyage.update.  If geodewdt works, 
you can see it from dmesg.
voyage:~# dmesg|grep geode-m
geode-mfgpt:  6 timers available.
geode-mfgpt:  Registered timer 1

Regards,
Punky
