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? --Slosh
