Try the boot paramenter, hdd=ide-cd.
SCSI emulation does not interfere with you enabling DMA; my DVD/CDRW drive has scsi emulation, it is seen by linux as /dev/sr0, and still I can enable DMA with hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc... However, if yours is a DVD-ROM or a DVD-rom/CD-rom (i.e. a read only device)... if it is not a burner, you do not need SCSI emulation... SCSI emlation is needed only tu burn CDs... if this is your case it makes sense disabling SCSI emulation... but if you disable scsi emu and you have a burner... well, then you won't be able to burn cd's. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
