For some strange reason, though the boot messages show the CD, DVD, and Zip devices as having "DMA disabled," a check with hdparm shows that all actually have dma enabled in my installation. Why is this? I also note that the code in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit in MDK 9.0 that disabled dma for the cdroms, is no longer in that file. Norm
