Hard Disk DMA/Kernel question

[Jonathan Hutchins]

Ok, kernel gurus:  My laptop gives several lines of DMA failures on the hard 
drive when Linux is starting up.  I believe this just indicates that it's not 
a DMA compatible hard drive.  Is there a paramater I can pass the kernel at 
start time to tell it not to bother trying DMA disk access?
