Ubuntu, NeroLinux and DMA Support
Filed Under (Linux) by cranst on 15-04-2005
Ran into this issue when running NeroLinux. It told me that DMA was not enabled for my burner, so I hunted down (Googled) the instructions on the web and found this in a forum.
enabling dma is as simple as opening a shell and running
sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdx
(replace x for whatever drive you want to enable)
Of course it worked like a champ.
