The "ide=nodma" switch is only for CD mediacheck to bypass some kind of
problem. For normal operation in the very most cases you don't need
that. It would indicate a drive or cable problem.
Starting the installation of Fedora with the "ide=nodma" switch will not
add that one to the kernel line in grub.conf.
