 |
|
| I know this topic has been raised before. I have tried putting hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc in /etc/conf.d/local.start.... I have tried seting args in /etc/conf.d/hdparm, but each time I want to watch a DVD I have to su root and manually set the hdparm params. All the while my other hd*s get dma enabled during boot up. |

This has been mentioned several times on the forums (and since I'm sure you searched before asking, you have already tried this  ), but just to be sure, have you done:
| Code: | | rc-update add hdparm default |

That worked! I hadn't seen that before. Thanks hensan for your help. 
What exactly is the rc update doing? |

rc-update adds an init script to a runlevel. When the system moves into that runlevel the init script will get executed (along with any others in the runlevel) and whatever is in that init script gets done. In this case, the init script does some hdparm stuff.

If its scsi emulated then it'll have a sdX device entry instead as the system is treating it as SCSI.
