[ale] Disabling DMA at boot.

[Christopher Fowler]

I'm trying the below lilo command line parameters to disable DMA on hda.

Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=outpost ro root=107 ramdisk=32768
hda=nodma


But ..

hda: PQI IDE DiskOnModule, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hda: 64000 sectors (33 MB) w/1KiB Cache, CHS=500/8/16, DMA
Partition check:
 hda:hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hda: DMA disabled
ide0: reset: success
 hda1 hda2


The kernel still tries DMA.  Is there a urfire way to tell the kernel on
boot to not use DMA?
