On a Dell Inspiron 9300 i'm unable to play dvd, because the dma is not enabled. I think i'll run into problems if i try to burn cd/dvd. Try to set dma with hdparm gives me the following error: # hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) I found this: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=279310#post279310 Is this the only way to enable dvd dma or can i just set an kernel option on boot? Thank you. Dirk
