ide=nodma is not a module parameter per se, AFAICT. Judging from the release notes of Red Hat 8.0 <http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/release-notes/x86/>, the parameter passed to the ide-cd module to disable DMA (which is disabled by default in RH 8.0, BTW) is dma=0, and that is part of a line in /etc/modules.conf, not something that can be passed at the boot prompt. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
