• Bug#250323: cd dma

    From Joey Hess@1:229/2 to All on Sat Aug 14 19:00:13 2004

    Well we're seeing a few reports of this by users who fail to install
    because of CD DMA problems. Can this be fixed on the kernel side, or do
    we need to try to do something in the installer to disable DMA?

    If you disable DMA for all then there will be a lot
    of complains about slow installation via CD.

    Maybe you should consider an option "nodma" at boot
    time?
