Error setting dma to hd

[Elijah <desiderata@softhome.net>]

I could set other parameters but dma doesn't seem to work anymore:

-----------------------------------------------

valhalla:/etc/sysconfig# hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdb1

/dev/hdb1:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Invalid argument
 using_dma    =  0 (off)

-----------------------------------------------


I went to /etc/sysconfig/ and made a harddisks file there containing:


-----------------------------------------------
USE_DMA 1
-----------------------------------------------

doesn't work either ... help?
