Bug Description

I own a Nec 16x DVD recorder, which perfectly works under (sigh!) windows.

When I use it with ubuntu/kubuntu (for exapmle with K3B), the DMA transfer mode
disables automatically; I turn it on again with hdparm -d1 but then it disables
again.

The recorder is at the moment sec/sla.

Here is the hdparm output.

marco@ubuntu:~$ hdparm /dev/hdd

/dev/hdd:
 IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq = 1 (on)
 using_dma = 0 (off)
 keepsettings = 0 (off)
 readonly = 0 (off)
 readahead = 256 (on)

Regards.

Marco
