This is from hdparm. It looks like, you're starting it automatically while booting, but with wrong arguments. Maybe /etc/init.d/boot.local ?
Ok thanks for that. Just recently I have changed DMA to "on", manually by putting on between the quotation marks. Can this have anything to do with it?
Where? In /etc/sysconfig/hardware->DEVICES_FORCE_IDE_DMA ? Then not only "on", better: "/dev/hda:on". There is a description in the file.
I haven't changed anything in the boot process ( not that I know of anyway). I also have used "hdparm -v /dev/dvd" and then "hdparm -X <udma mode> -d 1 /dev/dvd. Could it be that the udma mode is set wrong?
To enable DMA use -d1 without space. -- Andreas
