Do you know if these drives were advertising less capability than they were spec-ed at? Do you recall if the IDE driver without kernel arguments printed its rationale for reverting to the slower setting? I ask because I'd like to know if this sort of thing can ever happen with libata. If so, then that is yet another reason to have the ability to override DMA settings from user level in libata.
