I was having a problem with my DVD-ROM, and I've fixed it by disabling DMA mode for the drive. Here's the command I use to disable DMA:
sbin/hdparm -d0 /dev/hdd How can I make that permanent? Will doing that cause me any problems except for (theoretically) reduced performance? Does anyone have any idea why DMA would screw with my drive or how to enable DMA without the crashes? The drive is a Torisan 8X in a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop. - Grant __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
