I'm not sure if this is an HP or Compaq :D I think I will remain happily stuck. This doesn't seem to be an important issue as long as I can watch DVDs on windows*sigh*.

Use hw.ata.atapi.dma=x for atapi devices(cdroms and dvdroms). Drop that atapi for hard drives. Here x = 0-6 at speeds of 16.7, 25, 33.3, 44.4, 66.7, 100, 133. Mode 6 only works on select drives, like mators, with a board that supports, like an nforce. Most cdroms should not be more than a mode 2. Thats for a 52x where 52x150kb/s=7800kb/s=7.6mb/s max transfer. My liteon supports 33.3mb/s tranfers, and I use that mode but it is no real avantage over mode 0 or 1. Dvds use 1250kb/s as their x value, so a 8x dvd would need 8x1250kb/s=1kb/s=9.8mb/s. So just cut and paste this in the loader.conf file.
