    DMA for DVD-Drive

    I want to activate DMA for my DVD-Writer.
    The drive is secondary master. but
    hdparm /dev/hdc
    /dev/hdc:
    HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument
    IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
    unmaskirq = 1 (on)
    using_dma = 0 (off)
    keepsettings = 0 (off)
    readonly = 0 (off)
    BLKRAGET failed: Invalid argument
    HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument

    hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc

    /dev/hdc:
    setting using_dma to 1 (on)
    HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
    using_dma = 0 (off)

    I have read a few messages about this topic:
    I have dma support in the kernel (because dma is active for hda)
    the drive is not currently mounted
    I am using ide-scsi (in lilo.conf i got a line append="hdc=scsi" )


    suggestions are welcome

    my guess

    my guess is, that ide-scsi is blocking the activation of DMA,
    so I removed the kernel parameter hdc=scsi, but ide-scsi is
    still used for hdc
    I am using knoppix 3.4, kernelversion 2.4.26
