Probably because the BIOS is not working correctly or there is a bug in 
dca. Is that a supermicro machine?  Can you include the output of 
dmidecode?  Are you running the latest BIOS?  What are you trying to 
achieve?  DCA or IOAT DMA copy offload (two separate features)

The DMA channels (copy offload) are different than the DCA feature.  DCA 
involves front side bus hints sent from the adapter to the CPU handling 
the interrupt, where DMA channels are for copy offload from the processor 
to the independent data movers (DMA channels)
