Hiho, What we have: Im running gentoo linux (which uses devfs) on my box, with my DVD device (would be /dev/hdc if it wasnt) emulated via ide-scsi for cdburning purposes. The problem: When I play a DVD the playback is very laggy, I strongly suspect this being due to DMA not enabled on this device. The question: Many of you guys wrote to simply tell hdparm to enable dma on the /dev/hdX, even if the scsi emulation was active. This worked for me in the *old* days where i had no devfs. But now, there simply is no /dev/hdc when I kick in the scsi emulation. Also hdparm refuses to work on the scsi devices. How on earth do I get DMA running on my box ?
