Many thanks. I shall now look at these 2 files to see what I may see.

BTW, what exactly do you mean by "fine tune"? And the other thing, what
exactly is the entry/entries in /boot.local, just simply hdparm -d1
/dev/hdb ? Asking because putting the correct entry in /sysconfig/ide
and 'hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb' in /boot.local do not fix the problem- the
udma for hdb (aka dvd and cdrom) still won't "stick" and the only way to
(temporarily) set it is via the command line as Bryan does it.

Cheers.
