No, I don't have a solution to the DMA problem yet. I remember trying
hdparm, but not even hdparm could enable DMA on the hard drive (try it --
it will refuse. weird.)
I haven't spent much time on this though...I was thinking of recompiling
the kernel and using a generic driver rather than the intel driver which
it is probably using.
