And that's different from the 7.3 method of activating DMA, hmmm.

From RELEASE-NOTES-i386
o DMA is disabled on CD-ROM drives in this release in a different
but more reliable way than previously. If you are sure that your
CD-ROM drive is capable of IDE DMA, place the following line in the
/etc/modules.conf file:
options ide-cd dma=1

I am trying to get Ogle working again on RH8.0 and I am up against a
problem when I try and activate dma on my dvd drive:
[root@touzi root]# hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)
Adding a h /etc/sysconfig/arddiskshdb file does not hep either.
How can I allow this kind of operation? I do not recall any such problem
with RH7.3.
Enabling dma on dvd players is essential for smooth playback (at least
on Ogle)
Does anyone have suggestions?
Sam.
