I've never heard of any CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive having problems with DMA...
|
|
although there probably is since Red Hat decided to default disabling it a
|
|
few releases back :-/
|
|
Normally, even if you try to enable DMA and your device doesn't support it,
|
|
it simply don't be able to make the change, and that's it. The problem IIRC
|
|
is with crappy hardware that is supposed to support DMA but doesn't work as
|
|
expected when it's enabled... maybe Chris could confirm this? ;-)
|
|
|
|
I guess I'll settle for the /dev/dvd link change as described and putting
|
|
the DMA tip in the %description :-)
