Try to set DMA for the DVD with yast2, watch for errors in the message log with tail -f, you won't need to reboot to check if it's worked. (Or use alt+F10.) Keep trying the different settings, the default setting works on this PC but on another machine DMA66 works. The other machine has a new Asus DVD which supports UDMA100 but the mobo only goes up to 66. Somewhere in Yast there is a boot.idedma setting, in runlevel properties, should be set as B. Also check that the BIOS has enabled DMA for the DVD.
I changed the setting in Yast to B. Enabled it and "start now". When I restarted to check , the "failed" message has disappeared, but when I looked again in Yast runlevel, boot.idedma it has option B and also runlevel 5 but it says "not running". Start up log says : Setting up IDE DMA mode /dev/hda: setting using_dma to 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) done Is there anything else I should do? Thank you very much for trying to help me. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."
