SubjectQuestion about DMA and cd burning.
I was talking to a couple of friends who also run 2.4.x, they said they 
burn CD's all the time using DMA, and not PIO.

So I looked into the matter, apparently, the kernel sets my hd{b,c}
(both Plextor 12/10/32A's) drives DMA to disabled.

[war@war war]$ dmesg | grep -i dma
Activating ISA DMA hang workarounds.
VP_IDE: VIA vt82c596b (rev 12) IDE UDMA66 controller on pci00:07.1
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd000-0xd007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xd008-0xd00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio
hda: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=9729/255/63, UDMA(66)

hdc: DMA disabled

I even went further and tried:

append="ide-cd=ignore=hdb ide-cd=ignore=hdc"

In my lilo.conf, once again, no luck.

Can anyone offer any suggestions why others can burn CD's in DMA mode,
yet the kernel keeps disabling DMA for my burners?

Please cc me as I am not subscribed to the list, thank you.
