Setting the DMA *and* making it stick

How does one make SuSE 10 accept the fact that I want the DMA on the DVD ROM set to UDMA 33?

No matter what I try in Yast2 to set the DMA of hdb (the DVD ROM), Sus 10 shows me that the Required DMA Mode should be UltraDMA 33 but won't budge from showing the Curent DMA Mode as OFF.

This setting has to be also set manually somewhere in some config file I would think. Anyone know which config file this may be?

(Sus - no, not Suse, not until I get THIS wacky behaviour sorted out - accepted the change to the DMA to hdd which is my DVD burner.)

Had no trouble with this in earlier versions of sus, BTW.

Any suggestions on how to overcome this "feature" most welcome because I finally acquired the ability to view DVDs but I am not used to viewing jerky moving pictures.

Cheers.
