Greetings all,

I'm running debian unstable on 2.4.18 kernel and have to cd drives, one
is a cd writer and the other is a dvd player. A while ago I was getting
jumpy DVD playback but found (via a website) that 'hdparm -d1 /dev/dvd'
solved it wonderfully.

However, a while ago I needed to burn some CDs so I found a walkthrough
that had me adding a SCSI module (I believe) and now when I try to run
the above command I get amancha:/home/slosh# hdparm -d1 /dev/dvd

/dev/dvd:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Invalid argument

and needless to say the DVD playback is jumpy again. What do I need to
do?
