I've tried the following configurations, none of which ended up in DMA
functioning on the D610.
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX is not set
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y
CONFIG_PATA_MPIIX=y
CONFIG_PATA_OLDPIIX=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX is not set
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y
CONFIG_PATA_MPIIX=y
# CONFIG_PATA_OLDPIIX is not set

In looking through my config file, I don't see CONFIG_IDE_PIIX.
Below is a list of all the config entries that contain the patter
PIIX:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y
CONFIG_PATA_MPIIX=y
CONFIG_PATA_OLDPIIX=y
Any suggestions on how I may turn of the conflicting piix support?
Thank you. I took the CD-Rom out, so that's why it didn't show. Very
observant!

Thanks. You do indeed have both the old IDE and new IDE drivers trying to
drive bits of the system. I don't see the CD-ROM in the dmesg at all
however ?
If you turn off CONFIG_ATA you should get just old IDE drivers and your
disk back working sanely.

I have the same kernel and configuration on my Dell D600 (an older
version of the same laptop), and hdparm –d works just fine.
We you using the IDE driver for PATA devices and the SATA driver for SATA
devices ? If so the really nasty hacks for that were dropped as current

I was talking to Kristin this morning about doing that. I was
concerned that there is not anybody certifying that each individual
disk drive model / firmware release is properly implementing the
Security Erase function.
Are you aware of testing body, etc. that publishes a white-list of
