Tested my CDROM for audio just now - works fine (at least pressing the
buttons on the unit, have no softwareplayer to test with so it might not
work anyway - my cd is total crap and usually has all kinds of problems..)
However, it seems this affects many people using different hardware. The
conclusion must be that the ATA drivers needs fixing - not being able to use
DMA-mode for disks etc just isn't acceptable, especially considering it
worked ok with the wd driver - or did that driver not even try the "better"
modes, just falling back to PIO default? I am not familiar with it so I
don't know. If it in fact worked before, the ata-guys(Sören, right?)
shouldn't have too hard a time getting it to function properly again.
Sören, comments?
