I'm running xen with the xen 2.6.18 kernel on a pe2970.
The problem is it takes almost 5 minutes to deal with the cdrom at boot.
It one by one tries different dma methods.
Pretty sure the times are bogus as the root partition was not mounted yet.
The cd is ata2.
At the moment I have disabled the cdrom in bios.
I thinking of trying libata.dma=1 for the kernel in grub.
Any suggestions?
