Yeah, but we are talking here about v10.1 which is an animal of a different
kind...

True.


OK, this is what I tried and the results.

Firstly, the comment that the params you show above are not the same as you
gave in an earlier response so I'll ignore the above and use what you gave

Well, my first one I created for you, taking my real line and leaving
only the parameters I thought you needed. Posibly I misstyped something.
The second one is the one that I'm actually using.

On both occasions the above statements in /ide were ALTERED to read:

..._DMA=""


Oh, my! :-(


I then used the approach which Silviu provided which was to use
/etc/init.d/boot.local.

Yes, that one must work. Time ago, I created my own
"/etc/init.d/boot.localhw" service script instead. I'm not using it now,
but I might use it again when I install 10.1. Basicly, I run hdparm.



Use a text editor to directly edit the file.

Doesn't appear that using anything will stop from something in SuSE amending
../ide to whatever it is "programmed" to do (against your will in fact).

It must be something in hald/devfs/subfs/whatever.


All these things above I found after much time in
typing/rebooting/typing/rebooting/typing/ad finitum :-) . I'll never be
same...

You sure have saved a lot of time for many of us ;-)
