Subject: wake from sleep and DMA problem

I have a PB G3 99 with 128 MB Ram running CS 1.2. I have several partitions,
including a Mac HFS+ with OS 9, a small Mac HFS for sharing, and a linux and
swap. I have a strange boot behavior. If the machine has been off for while,
over a couple of hours, and I try to boot into Linux without first booting in
the Mac side, the startup sequence stalls at the message: hdc: Enabling
MultiWord DMA 2. This message is repeated, and then the system hangs, and I
have to do a Ctrl-apple-power key restart. If I boot back into the mac side,
and then do a restart, the linux startup runs fine.
Now, today, I downloaded pmud, got it running, put the PB to sleep, and I
couldn't wake the machine up without a cold reboot. I saw a message from Paul
Lukas about this in July, but no resolution. And this time, I get repeated
bevahior of the linux boot process hanging at the DMA message.
Any ideas?
