I'm back in SUSE again, this time instead of installing though the "safe
settings" option I installed it by inserting hdb=nodma into the text area
after selecting the regular install method.
I find it strange that my CD-Rom drive is the second (slave) device on my
first IDE cable, when initially booting its seen as hdb but as soon as Linux
has gotten to the init scripts it seems to have changed to hdc :-/ , either
way hdb=nodma usually works in most distributions except in Mandrake where it
doesn't seem to be needed and in PCLinuxOS which sometimes picks up on it but
not all the time.
My music no longer seems to skip, everything seems to be running decent except
for X11 which starts to show strain when extracting a 413 Mb tar.gz file.
