It often pays to read the documentation:
-c Query/enable (E)IDE 32-bit I/O support. A numeric
parameter can be used to enable/disable 32-bit I/O
support: Currently supported values include 0 to
disable 32-bit I/O support, 1 to enable 32-bit data
transfers, and 3 to enable 32-bit data transfers
with a special sync sequence required by many
chipsets. The value 3 works with nearly all 32-bit
IDE chipsets, but incurs slightly more overhead.
Note that "32-bit" refers to data transfers across
a PCI or VLB bus to the interface card only; all
(E)IDE drives still have only a 16-bit connection
over the ribbon cable from the interface card.
If you haven't set keep-over-reset, try changing the value of I/O support
to -c3 instead of -c1.
If you are completely unable to access your drives, even with DMA turned
off at boot, you may need to find out how good Dell's technical support or
warranty service really is.
