On a Dell Inspiron 9300 i'm unable to play dvd, because the dma is not
enabled. I think i'll run into problems if i try to burn cd/dvd.
Try to set dma with hdparm gives me the following error:
# hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)
I found this:

Is this the only way to enable dvd dma or can i just set an kernel
option on boot?
Thank you.
