DMA can mean a few things, but here I think it's refering to method of talking to IDE drives- which unless you have a special IDE card, you don't have in a 7500. You can try adding the kernel flag "ide=nodma" or there's probably a flag to turn ide support completely off. I don't know it, if it even exists.
