Hi, I think the file you want to modify for options is /etc/modprobe.d/options. Check out the modprobe manpage. /etc/modules just lists modules to load.
Also, I don't think the hdparm command can be used for the newer kernels. It is a shame that use of this command as a diagnostic of brokenness seems to have crept in as standard even though it is not applicable. Regarding "sudo echo ..." what you have typed will not work because the "echo 1" part of the command runs as root, but the "> /sys..." part doesn't. Become root (sudo su), then try "echo 1 > /sys..." Good luck. -- DVD playback jerky due to ata_generic module disabling DMA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175022 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
