Do you have DMA enabled... open a shell and do:
xine-check
I just noticed this is not usefull to check your DMA status... but you can
check the status of xine; if everything is OK then do this:
cat /proc/ide/piix
I get this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc/ide$ cat piix
Controller: 0
Intel PIIX4 Ultra 100 Chipset.
--------------- Primary Channel ---------------- Secondary Channel

enabled enabled
--------------- drive0 --------- drive1 -------- drive0 ---------- drive1
------
DMA enabled: yes no yes no
UDMA enabled: yes no yes no
UDMA enabled: 5 X 2 X
UDMA
DMA
PIO
My CD/DVD is drive0 in the secondary channel (oh, and yes, I have an IDE
CD/DVD on SCSI emulation); as you can see I have DMA enabled on it... if you
do not have it enabled do this (as root):
hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc (in my case hdc is my CD/DVD... first drive sec IDE
channel...)
Then check cat /proc/ide/piix; DMA should be enabled now.
If so you can enable it at boot using /etc/init.d/hwtools script; change this
part:
# hdparm optimization
# Switches on interrupts during transfers and does multi sector transfers
if command -v hdparm >/dev/null 2>&1; then
hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc
true
fi
