2.4.21 can't set IDE DMA on harddrive (HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted)

[=?ISO-8859-1?B?Suly9G1lIEF1Z+k=?=]

Hi,

I'm now using kernel 2.4.20-13.8 (from RH8) and 2.4.21-ck1 (from Con
Kolivas based on 2.4.21-rc6) and I'm unable to set the dma for my
harddrive with hdparm:

  # hdparm -d1 /dev/hda

  /dev/hda:
   setting using_dma to 1 (on)
   HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
   using_dma    =  0 (off)

Before these kernels I was using the 2.4.18 (from RH8 too) and
2.4.20-ck1 and setting DMA was working.

I checked my logs and found that the 2.4.21 kernel use E-IDE version
7.00beta[34]-.2.4 and the 2.4.20 one use version 6.31.

Looks like something went wrong in the IDE code regarding DMA settings ?

Here is the output from 'lspci' for my IDE controler (Toshiba Satellite
2540CDT):
