Thanks! I got it working just by issuing sudo hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc, turning off dma for the drive. Now that it works, I'll see about turning off DMA by default for it. My next step is to investigate whether there exists a boot-time parameter to disable dma for hdc while allowing it to remain on for my other drives without having to recompile my kernel. If anybody has pointers on setting up auto dma on some drives but not others, I'd appreciate it.
