Hello there. was hoping this would mean I could enable DMA support on the DVD, but no luck with 2.6.14-1.1768_FC4 or 2.6.14-1.1767_FC4. I have options ide hdc=noprobe options libata atapi_enabled=1 in /etc/modprobe.conf and have re-made the initrd as thinkwiki suggest, but the drive remains as /dev/hdc (I THINK it should move, am I correct?) and no DMA
it will stay as hdc if your bios is set to 'legacy' or 'combined' mode.
both those options should be unnecessary (the 2nd one is also pointless as libata isn't a module, and that option is on by default in this kernel).
file a bug, with the contents of your dmesg.
kernel-2.6.14-1.1768_FC4smp works fine here. Even SMART on my SATA hdd is now working.
