Q: Ive played with Suse 9.3 for a while, learn where everything is, and that button, and one of those moments when I clicked on “that” I screwed the pooch and now I cannot begin on another then failsafe (
I a rescue using the boot disk tried to install, but said it fixed a few things, asking if I wanted the boot record to rewrite, rebooted and still the same problem.
What I knew that I think that the whole problem in the first place was the change in the DMA level my DVDRW to udma33, when I did the comp, and I had to hit reset and it would not load after that: (
I dual-boot with winXP got no problem with Suse that.
I can start in failsafe and do “init 5″ to the gui (kde load) and do whatever failsafe allows.
If I try to start in normal mode going through all the stuff start, let the “nVidia” logo (6800GT) then shows the stopwatch spiders, its a black arrow with white lines on the screen and locks up.
It seems that just before the login screen when it locks [/ b] Hair Pull (
What if I disconnect the DVDRW question? would lead to an entry in the DMA whatever.cfg removed? if so, what should I do to DVDRW without the problem again, like “Add / Remove hardware “type stuff

Re:That is exactly what happened, I can start normally now.
I now believe the problem to be that the dvdrw is the primary slave on a promise controller card, my other optical drive, which is connected to the onboard ide, works fine at dma33.
Great! I'm glad you have it working again. I am also a Suse 9.3 user, I just upgraded from 9.2. There were lots of improvements between the two.

I will copy down the last bit and let you know, thanks.
Just now I shut down xp and unplugged power to the optical drives and started up Suse with no problem, I am posting from it now.
What do I need to do to eliminate the problem so it wont come back when I want to plug in the optical drives?
Actually, unplugging the drives and booting may have take care of the problem by itself. When you plug it back in and boot back up it may re-detect the optical drive and the DMA Mode reset to the default values as they were before you changed them.
Give it a try and let us know what happens.

Re:not sure with Suse, but does hitting F2 take you out of the splash screen and show you what is really happening?
