I'd see some value in having a further set of test
ISOs. I have a ye olde CD-ROM that doesn't like DMA,
so I'd be a good guinea pig for testing whether the
BOOT kernel *really* only enabled DMA for hard drives.
This was in the kernel changelog:
* Fri Oct 10 2003 Dave Jones <davej redhat com>
- Only enable DMA on hard disks in the BOOT kernel.
However, I still needed to pass ide=nodma to the boot
prompt to get Fedora test3 to install, so apparently
either that change didn't make it to the test3 kernel,
or the attempted change didn't work.
