[ltp] DMA?

Okay, I have one for the list.

I have my DVD drive on my TP600E (2645-4AU) working beautifully under 
RedHat 7.3 with Ogle.  The only thing is, it's choppy.  So, I find that I 
need to turn the DMA setting to on for the DVD drive.  No problem, a 
little hdparm -d1 /dev/cdrom works fine.  

But, there's a problem -- when I reboot, the DMA gets turned off.  I've 
taken to adding /sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/cdrom to a small script that starts 
Ogle, but I want a better solution.

Any ideas?
