Hdparm and 2.4 kernel



I'm having trouble using hdparm (versions 3.6 and 4.1) on a Debian Potato system.

When I do:

hdparm -d1 /dev/hda

The message is: HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted.

Does anybody have any suggesstions why? The same hardware worked with DMA under Linux on Mandrake 7.0 (LX chipset + Maxtor disk drive)

Even compiling my own version of hdparm doesn't help.

Cheers
