So I ran smartctl -t short /dev/hda gave no errors and then ran smartctl -t long /dev/hda and also ended without errors. The output from smartclt -l selftest /dev/hda is:=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 28 -
# 2 Short offline Completed without error 00% 26 -so I think the disk is OK.

I think you can force dma off by passing "dma=off" on the kernel command
line.
