If you want dma off on your cdrom, you should not have to do anything on 9.0. If you examine the sysinit script, you'll see that Mandrake 9.0 is already turning off dma on the optical drives. You shouldn't have to pass ide=nodma to the kernel and then turn on dma on the harddrive. Wouldn't that prevent the kernels ability to handle dma from the hard drive as opposed to just turning it off on a specific drive. -- /g ___________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
