Just as a thought - why is nocddma not made the default in the install

Possibly that drive speed will be a lot slower. It's not much fun
trying to do just a basic install that takes about two hours.
It would save a lot of these explanatory messages after every
release...
DMA actually working would be more preferable. This problem has been
around for quite some time.
Indeed, and turning off DMA doesn't always fix the problem either. Alan
Cox suggests just not bothering with the media check at all.
