Yeah, but we are talking here about v10.1 which is an animal of a different kind...
True.
OK, this is what I tried and the results.
Firstly, the comment that the params you show above are not the same as you gave in an earlier response so I'll ignore the above and use what you gave
Well, my first one I created for you, taking my real line and leaving only the parameters I thought you needed. Posibly I misstyped something. The second one is the one that I'm actually using.
On both occasions the above statements in /ide were ALTERED to read:
..._DMA=""
Oh, my! :-(
I then used the approach which Silviu provided which was to use /etc/init.d/boot.local.
Yes, that one must work. Time ago, I created my own "/etc/init.d/boot.localhw" service script instead. I'm not using it now, but I might use it again when I install 10.1. Basicly, I run hdparm.
Use a text editor to directly edit the file.
Doesn't appear that using anything will stop from something in SuSE amending ../ide to whatever it is "programmed" to do (against your will in fact).
It must be something in hald/devfs/subfs/whatever.
All these things above I found after much time in typing/rebooting/typing/rebooting/typing/ad finitum :-) . I'll never be same...
You sure have saved a lot of time for many of us ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEefAhtTMYHG2NR9URAo2JAJwI3F3TyWtm4TONRifjAUnBVHgQwgCbBxxQ u4pITTFipT4u6kKHq51pLvY= =mAQ9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
