Well, tried as you suggested (modifying the modules.conf), however now when attempting to run rmmod ide-cdrom I get; rmod: module ide-cdrom is not loaded Also, when attempting to run modprobe I get; modprobe: Can't locate module ide-cdrom. Of course when attempting to run the hdparm -d1 (DMA on), I receive only the "permission denied" response. Confimed my /dev/cdrom as per system devices, however I see on a related instruction below the statement "ide-cd" is used. Which is correct, ide-cdrom, or ide-cd?

If you're using the kernel from the updates, edit /etc/modules.conf and add the following line to it: options ide-cd dma=1 Then, run the commands: modprobe -r ide-cd modprobe ide-cd You should now be using DMA on your cdrom.
