Hi,

This looks like your drive does not support DMA access.

Check if it is enable with the following (as root)

hdparm /dev/hda

it should report an output looking like this:
/dev/hda:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  3 (32-bit w/sync)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    =  8 (on)
 geometry     = 9726/255/63, sectors = 156250000, start = 0

If DMA is on, try this

hdparm -d 0 /dev/hda
