Hi Carlos:

Thankf for your reply.

Thanks. I read hdparm man several times but it was not clear 
for me that -d also reports dma status.
For hdparm -d -c -u /dev/hdd I get:

/dev/hdd:
 IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)

Is this good or bad (for unmaskirq and IO_support)?

According to my knowledge neroLINUX is a native linux 
program.  I had several problems with k3b before. 
Unfortunately there is not a decent GUI cdburning software for 
linux.  All of them ruins directory dates on burned media. But 
this would be a different topic.

Is the /var/log/messages file the kernel log? Or dmesg?
I found lines in /var/log/messages like these:

kernel: hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
kernel: hdc: DMA disabled
kernel: hdc: ATAPI reset complete
kernel: hdc: tray open
kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 64
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 16
kernel: hdc: tray open
kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 68

and:

kernel: hdc: drive_cmd: status=0x01 { Error }
kernel: hdc: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand }
kernel: ide: failed opcode was: 0xec
kernel: hdd: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady 
SeekComplete Error }
kernel: hdd: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand }
kernel: ide: failed opcode was: 0xec
syslog-ng[2053]: STATS: dropped 0
kernel: hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
kernel: hdc: ATAPI reset complete
kernel: hdc: tray open
kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 64
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 16
kernel: hdc: tray open
kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 68
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 17

I don't know which of these report problems and which are 
normal.
However recently I had also bootup problems.  At certain point 
boot hangs and I have to reset.  I can't remember the 
messages at which boot hangs (not always the same) but next 
time I will write it down.  Couldit be a problem with the MB or 
bad wiring?

Thanks and cheers,
IG
