It is xine that gives me the error message.  I then run xine-check and 
it explains further that it is a DMA issue.

The DMA issue with the chip set (ich6) is documented and involves 
changes between the SATA and IDE drivers.  At least the way I 
understand it.  The latest kernel is so much better than the older 
kernel for accessing both the HD and DVD.

There are some things that I have to try but I need to get access to 
the laptop but my wife is using it heavily.  Well it will give me time 
to do some further research and who knows, maybe a great fix.
