Hi there,

I was having the same issue, and tried to issue the commands listed above. I get the following error:

	benjamin at BigMartha:/usr/src$ sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb

	/dev/hdb:
	 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
	 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
	 using_dma    =  0 (off)
	
Any ideas how to get this?

Many thanks.

Ben
