[Bug 128] New: DMA Error with ATAPI CDROM

https://bugzilla.arklinux.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128

           Summary: DMA Error with ATAPI CDROM
           Product: Ark Linux
           Version: 1.0 alpha7
          Platform: i586 (PC, Intel)
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Low
           Affects: Overall Usability
         Component: syslinux

Description of Problem:
When attempting to install, during the kernel boot the installer hangs when it 
tries to detect "hdb" or the CDROM drive from which ark is installing.  I get 
errors like "hdb: timeout wating for DMA", "hdb: DMA disabled", "hdb: command 
error."  These errors will continually loop and the install process is 
basically hung.  This is all before I get to the "installation type" screen.  
I have attempted booting with the ide=nodma parameter per Bero's instructions 
but this did not fix the problem.  The problem-drive is an Acer 16x10x40 CD-RW.

I do not have this problem in alpha 6.

My friend, who has a Compaq Presario 1500T laptop, experiences the same 
problem.  His install hangs when it is searching for his DVD/CD-RW combo 
drive.  The only difference is his errors start with "cdrom_read_error" and 
his drive is hdc.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How Reproducible:
Happens every time myself or my friend attempt to install alpha 7.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot with Ark alpha 7 cd.
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Booting of kernel for the first time hangs.

Expected Results:
Should detect drive and continue with installation as it does in alpha 6.
