Found another wrinkle on my system. This may affect some and not others depending on hardware and such. If you have DMA turned on when you compiled the kernel, it will enable DMA for the cdrom and cdrw. This will cause a kernel oops when you mount the cd and the only way out is the reset button. I got around it by doing this. I put these two lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
hdparm -d0 /dev/hdd hdparm -d0 /dev/hde Please change this to reflect your appropriate drives. It turns off DMA for the two drives and every thing works just perfect. Well, almost, cd audio doesn't work no matter what I try. Although I haven't tried the obligatory sacrificial chicken on the keyboard. :) Jim On Monday, January 14, 2002 6:39, Mike Andrew wrote: > On Mon, 14 Jan 2002 04:15, Tim Wunder wrote: > > Upon investigation, I made a WAG that the reason I needed to load > > ide-scsi during boot was that I had IDE CDROM support compiled into the > > kernel. > > Bugger, bugger, bugger. I *forgot* all about that wrinkle.
