Re: [Dvdrtools-users] DVD DVR-104 HELP

[Andre Dalle]

I also have a Pioneer DVD-A04.

I am using ide-scsi as well, these are my settings from
/proc/ide/hda/settings

Note that I do not have DMA enabled.  I never had any trouble writing,
though I am only writing at 1X.

I have done no customization except to build the IDE & ide-scsi support into
the kernel, and pass "hda=ide-scsi" as a kernel parameter via grub.

It may also be worth mentioning that my Pioneer is the only IDE device in
my system.  My disks are all SCSI.

I am running Gentoo Linux 1.2:
Linux kermit.dalle.ca 2.4.19-xfs-r2 #1 Sat Nov 16 17:56:57 EST 2002 i686
AuthenticAMD
