When I try to get dma to work with my hard drive, I get the following error:

Does anyone know why this might happen? It's a brand new drive, there's no reason this shouldn't work...
What version of hdparm are you using? What version of Debian? What make and model is the drive? What mobo/chipset do you have?
Simply from memory and other such non-authoritative sources, I believe I have the Intel 845 mobile chipset.
