In fact, setting it to udma2 makes it no longer work, does the kernel is "aware" of this limitation and sets mdma2 as a consequence?How do you set it to u/dma2 and remind me the exact machine model
cdroms dont support dma?? i thought they were pio only with every cdrom on any arch when iveset to dma its been time for bus errors. pio is fine though. like i said, im 99% sure this is a limitation of cdroms. linked to how cdroms shouldnt be the master device with a slave hard disk.
