[03:11] <stego> Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around via82cxxx module (or compiled in) hanging the system on boot? It eventually gets loaded later ok, but if I put it at the top of /etc/modules (needed for enabling DMA), I can't boot up!
[03:12] <jbailey> What do you mean it's needed for DMA?
[03:12] <jbailey> You can use hdparm to enable DMA.
[03:13] <jbailey> Or if it's enabling DMA by efault when you do that, perhaps that's why your system's hanging?
[03:14] <stego> Unless I put via82cxxx at the top, hdparm returns "HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted" on one drive, and just hangs on the second optical drive.
[03:14] <stego> https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3672 says that DMA is disabled by default on CD-ROM drives though.
[03:15] <jbailey> Right.  But it sounds like one of your devices doesn't support DMA and the other one is buggy.
[03:15] <stego> My hdparm.conf is all commented as (as default)
[03:15] <stego> But both work perfectly well in other distributions though!
[03:16] <stego> If you're at all interested, I have put my troubles to date up at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28805
[03:18] <jbailey> I don't really feel like looking at it right now.
[03:19] <jbailey> (I'm watching the simpsons at the same time)
[03:19] <stego> Ok. Where should I go for help?
[03:20] <jbailey> Since you have steps to reproduce and all that, your best bet is proably bugzilla.
[03:21] <stego> Ok, I will try that. Thanks and enjoy the Simpsons :)
