I think I meant DMA, not ATA... maybe... umm... you get the idea ;o)  I
forget exactly why this sticks out as a potential problem, but there
should be an option that reduces as many of the "enhancements" as
possible and just gets the job done.  That's what I was trying to do
with option four ("Safe ATA and video instal" below).  We obviously
can't predict everything that can happen, what with all the broken
hardware out there, but we _can_ try to add a bypass path for as many
problems as possible.
