CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL error

["stephen_b_allen@tiscali.co.uk" <stephen_b_allen@tiscali.co.uk>]

Hello,

I really need to run hdparm.

When I run this command:
  #hdparm -N p${lbaend} --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing /dev/hda
I get this error

The running kernel lacks CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL support for this 
device.
 READ_NATIVE_MAX_ADDRESS_EXT failed: Invalid argument

My build paramteres are lh_build -d lenny -a i386 

Is this a kernel compile issue? Can it be resolved for the live cd 
environment?
Hoping someone can help,

Regards,

Steve
