I guess the real question is, What changed in 3.3 that we now have to use the Cheat code dma=hda to mount hard drives that worked fine with 3.2

Well like so many other people in this thread, I can't get any of the 3.3 versions to work with my Toshiba. In this case a Satellite 1800. The dma=hda cheat code worked well enough to finish the boot process, but once everything was up and running my partitions (one FAT32 for Win98 and one NTFS for WinXP) weren't mounted. Would it make a difference that I only used the cheat for one of my partitions?

And has someone with this model gotten everything to work properly on started, if so what was your full list of cheatcodes?
