I'm working on a stock Dell Dimension 4500 running a testing/unstable mix.
My disk access is appalling, entirely taking over the host processor for
large reads and writes thus causing mouse pointer freezes (which should
never occur on an interactive system). I am told that the way to fix this
is
# hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma= 0 (off)
You need to be root to do this...

Is this a custom kernel? You need support for your IDE controller before
this will work. See if it's recognized at boot by checking the dmesg

Setting ide0=dma has no effect. I also added idebus=66 (which may or may
not be correct, and I don't know how to find out), which had no noticeable
effect.
I think it should be ide0=ata34 (66, 67, depending on hd)
idebus=66 is
