script that comes with it mentioned that my DVD player hadn't got DMA enabled. following the instructions to enable it just caused my system (SuSE 8.0) to fall over in a heap.
Hi! I think I've found a bug in your request for help here. I need to know what commands you did (because the xine instructions may have changed), the output for hdparm before and after and how it "fall over in a heap" (unless you really mean that your system fell to bits and spilt over sidewards, in which case I blame those earthquakes). I know you said you haven't got mobo and DVD details, but if you can find them, they might also help and it's cheaper than buying new ones. :-) Best wishes, -- MJR http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ IM: slef@jabber.at This is my home web site.
