This is only likely to happen if the kernel module dealing with your ide
controller is unable to handle DMA.

And this is likely your problem as well.  Please post the output of
lsmod & lspci.  In assume that ide-generic is grabbing the ide controller
before the module that has DMA support is able to.

Take care,
