Sorry for intrusion,
But I want to ask one small question which is pretty important for me.

I have a CD-writer installed but I have problem that it crashes when DMA
is turned on for it. So I had to switch 'hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc' all the
time then I reboot.
When I installed new kernel 2.4.13 with automounted devfs I couldn't
turn off dma, because there is no hdc and hdparm says that it doesn't work
with other devices like:
[earwax] /home/yoh # hdparm /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd not supported by hdparm
[earwax] /home/yoh # hdparm /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd not supported by hdparm
So I had to create a hdc 'by hand'. Is there a way to avoid all this?
Thanx in advance for any hints
Sincerely, Yaroslav
