I am running FreeBSD 5.3. I have it presently loaded on an older Compaq 5140 computer. For some unknown reason, I am having a problem getting DMA turned on for my CDROM drive. I am also receiving an error message regarding the 'slave'. I had FreeBSD 5.2.1 loaded previously and never received any such warning message. In addition, the DMA was initiated at bootup with the same entries I now have in the 'LOADER.CONF(5)' fiie. I reformatted the HD prior to installing the new version, so I do not believe that the problem lies there.

I have not had success getting the DMA initiated using the /boot/loader.conf file however. This is my 'loader.conf' file: snd_ess_load="YES" hw.ata.ata_dma=1 hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 hw.ata_wc=1 I have tried using parenthesis around the numbers as well, but the results are the same. I am open to any suggestions. Thanks! Gerard E. Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Only in America... Tim Allen, comedian, had this to say about Martha Stewart: "Boy, I feel safer now that she's behind bars.
