I'm having trouble with DMA on my disks.  I've used DMA on these IDE
disks before, but for some reason I can't now.  When I run "hdparm
-X66 -d1 -u1 -m16 -c3 /dev/hda", for example, it all sets fine except
DMA.  For that it says, "HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not
permitted".  I know I've used DMA on these two drives before.  I
checked my kernel config and, sure enough, I have DMA enabled:

linux # zcat /proc/config.gz |grep DMA
CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA=y
CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_FORCED is not set
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
# CONFIG_IDEDMA_ONLYDISK is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
# CONFIG_IDEDMA_IVB is not set
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y

What else can I check?
