[Fedora] Re: Did I make a mistake in starting with Fedora Core 4?

[Dave Gutteridge]

    I attempted to boot with the following line in my grub.conf file:
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ ide=nodma
    Unfortunately, there has been no change to the operation of my DVD 
drives. They respond slowly, if at all, and often fail.

    What else can I test for?
