I believe not having DMA enabled on the dvd drive can cause this. On my Dell I have hdc=noprobe in the kernel parameters in grub.conf. That seems to be enough to keep the drive working nicely.

No, still choppy. Unless I added it wrong:
Obvious question: Is /dev/hdc your DVD ROM-drive?
You'd think this particular line from his output:
scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L632D DE03 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
And:
sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
Would mean his DVD-RW drive is actually sr0 right?
Would this mean the line you guys gave him for his grub boot is even valid?
Or am I misreading things (as per usual).
Regards, Ed.
I have reason to believe that the DVD drive is actually at /dev/scd0. Would I risk doing harm by changing hdc=noprobe to scd0=noprobe or sr0=noprobe?
Also, I tried verifying the location of the DVD drive in /etc/fstab, but it's not a conventional fstab like I'm used to with the drive letters and such. It's what is called LVM, no?
