Recompile your kernel with DMA support for your chipset driver.
Instead of module, built it into the kernel. In the make
menucofing/xconfig(your prefered way), navigate to "Device
Drivers>ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RRL support", then select the specific option
for your chipset.
You should select the following for your chipset.

Hope that will turn on the dma for your hdd.
