i recently had to turn dma off for my wlan... not sure if an ide 
controller's going to take the same approach, so ymmv. somehow showing 
sounds easier than trying to explain in english this early...

[nathwill@asgard ~]$ cd /etc/modprobe.d/
[nathwill@asgard modprobe.d]$ cat openfwwf.conf
options b43 nohwcrypt=1 qos=0 pio=1

so the "pio=1" bit in that options line for the device module is what 
got my system to quit griping about dma errors. i'm running fedora 14 
fwiw. g'luck.
