Are you sure that the BIOS has DMA enabled for hda and hdc?-
No , actually I'm not. I went to the BIOS but couldn't find it.
What mobo or BIOS do you have there? A lot of times you'll find it on the first screen or the first option on that screen. If the mobo is, I would guess, 3 years old or newer and auto detect is used then DMA is enabled, UDMA if the cable is 40pin x 80wire.
OK. Here are my results so far. When I reboot now and do a hdparm /dev/hda I get result: DMA = 1 (on). However what I really want is to have /dev/dvd DMA =1 (on). I still have to enable this manually every time I reboot. Thanks again for all the help.
You can put this in /etc/init.d/boot.local or I'm pretty sure you can set this in YaST2 and have the system force this state to your DVD player. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
