I was having the exact same problem. Whenever I tried to turn on DMA using
hdparm the drive would just hang on me.
I don't know what kind of controller you have, but in order to get my AMD
Viper to work with DMA I had to turn on USE_DMA_BY_DEFAULT and recompile the
kernel. Works great now...

Just do an "hdparm /dev/hdX" and it will show you your settings.

Well, it looks like you got lucky. I have a 13 gig and an 8
gig WD and they
are both slow. The funny thing is that the 8 gig is a 5400
rpm drive and
hdparm says it is a shade faster than the 13 gig drive, which
is a 7200 rpm
drive...go
I wonder how current it has to be ...got my drives about 6 months ago.

As far as how much slower the drive is with dma turned off...well, I have an
older 3 gig fugistu that is non ata66. With the dma turned on, I get about
12meg/sec transfer. With my wd 13gig I get about 1.3 or so. So it is
seriously hurting the drives performance.

I am trying to change the 16 bit i/o seetings for my hard drive to 32 bit to
drive to speed up access with the following command:
hdparm -c 1 -d 1 /dev/hde (I have ata/66 drives working on hde/hdg)
I wait a good 5 minutes and nothing ...just hangs, but I can close the
x-terminal.
Any ideas
What happens if you don't do the -d1? I can do -c1 just fine (and it speeds
things up 50%), but if I do -d1 my system locks solid.

I have the same problem enabling the dma on my wd hard-drive. I check the kernel and
it seems that dma and bus mastering for the hpt controllers are not finished yet. So,
the support is not built into the kernel that ships with 7.1.
