Now if I can just get DMA working on the DVD drive, life will be good. (hdparm returns an error when I try and set it.)
Have you tried adding a noprobe option to the kernel command line? I had no luck enabling DMA on the dvd drive in my laptop until I did this. In /etc/grub.conf, I added hdc=noprobe to the kernel line. I forget some of the details at the moment, but if you have SATA disk drives that are seen as /dev/sd{a,b}, but the dvd is /dev/hdc (or hdd), then adding a noprobe may help you too.
Thanks. That did the trick. The DVD is now /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/hdc. I can now play DVDs and VCDs on the system!!! Something more to add to the page I am building an the A105-S4004. I will have to check CD/DVD burning, but I don't expect problems. Who know, I may get everything working one of these days...
