to TotoKid: actually with my ex k8 combo-z the issues i was having were a little bit different of yours. 1. no problem with one of my hdd which is atapi - i remember my cpu was also suffering while copying files on/from it, but this did happen with intrepid alpha, not anymore with the stable release actually. so my only problem was dvd related. 2. with the workaround you found (i tried all of the known ones btw) my dvd drive always had access denied or something like that, so this trick was completely useless for me. and without using any workaround my drive was so slow (which is of course normal with dma mode off), and also most of my attempts to burn a full disc turned into failures. our issues are a little bit different, just a little, and the causes are most likely the same, aka linux (newest) kernel related. since it doesn't seem like there is some way to fix this bug and i really dislike some other os and the way it works i bought a new mb. i really hope for you that some kernel update will FINALLY fix that issue!! well there must be a way to fix it by ourself, but it doesn't seems that easy (especially for me ;) cheers mate!
