Re: PROBLEM: dvd-drive no longer works (2.4.20)

[Brendon Higgins]

Help! I've still got the problem with my DVD drive that I posted a while ago, 
and I've recieved no reply for several days. Does anybody have even the 
slightest clue what might be going on? I'm stumped, and any input would be 
appreciated.

Regardless of any DMA setting, booting still complains with:
...
