you need to find out which chipset they are using to talk to the ide buss
- if the kernel you're using doesnt support the ide chipset
( southbridge?) than it will give you "operation not permitted"
error message for "hdparm -d 1"
and all other prior comments about what to do to fix the "enabling dma"
problems .. ( esp which kernel and which chipset )
and yeah.. dell likes to make their own proprietory variations too
