Is it a burner (ide-scsi) or a reader (ide-cd). If it's a burner, edit /etc/sysconfig/harddiskhdX and set DMA=1 (X is a,b,c, or d). If it's a reader, do the above, then add to /etc/modules.conf the line: 'options ide-cd dma=1' save the file. Unmount and remove all cd's. Then as root, do: # depmod -a # rmmod ide-cd # modprobe ide-cd # hdparm -d1 /dev/hdX (where X is again a, b, c, or d) Or just reboot. (Easier, but you don't get any of the "I don't need no stink-in reboots like Windows!" "leetness".) -- Chris Kloiber
