can also append it to your LiLo config then run LiLo as Root


:( I am a newbie on linux and DSL... could you please tell me a step by step procedure to enable dma at boot automatically? I've performed an HD installation, but after booting a message appears stating that dma hasn't been activated...

thank you very much!  :)

Can someone please walkthrough how to make the stuff in the O'Reily tutorial permenent with reboot?
I'm not sure what file(s) he means in /etc/ folder to put the line in exactly. DSL has a bunch of rc*.d/ folders- are those the place? Which file? Can the line just go in lilo somewhere? Thanks!

I dont know what lines you are going to apply but try to write it to bootlocal.sh(is it bootlocal.sh?) file. It might work.

I just added "dma" at the end of the "append=..." line in the /etc/lilo.conf file.
It seems to work fine.
(sure hdparm lets you do much more than only enabling dma)

I hope it's of some use...
