I have a Dell Inspiron 6000d which has a SATA hard disk and PATA optical
drive. The performance for the hard disk is good, but the optical drive's
performance is very poor, I can't turn on DMA.
I used a kernel patch that got both drives working well, but it caused my
kernel to be unstable (random lock ups). Here is a discussion of the
patch:

I searched the web more and found a discussion on the kernel parameter
atapi_enabled=1, but that didn't work for me either.

This is the kernel I'm using:
kernel-2.6.12-1.1381_FC3
Any advice, tips or hints? Thank you.
