I will check the DMA setting but I remember it has been turn 'ON' ?
Were did you checked that... in Yast?... I will still try to enable it with hdparm... and if you do this, and playback is still skippy, then maybe you have another issue.... Have you tried that... does that work? Regardless of that, I think it will be worth while disabling scsi emul in that DVD since you do not need it; not sure how to do that, although I seem to remember an entry in grub at bootup ordering your system this to be so (hdc=ide-scsi); change that to what somebody suggested how in a previuos posting.
issue here is 8.1 pro emulate both drives for me during setup and this may be the cause of the problem as I cannot access to the DVD drive initially and need to relink to sr1 for it to work, any concern here?
do you mean, you need to create a link from /dev/sr1 to /dev/dvd... no problem there, that seems to be a standard issue with linux... somebody decided that is funny to figure this out, instead to just have the installer taking care of that. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
