Unable to enable disk DMA

Unable to enable disk DMA

I just replaced my RedHat v7.3 installation with a clean install of RHL
v9. Although I could enable DMA on 7.3, I now can 't on the same
hardware.

DMA is not enabled automatically on this hard disk. OK. The problem is
that I can 't enable it with hdparm either (shown below). I have
installed all the RH-released updates, including the kernel update.

Can anyone suggest a remedy for this problem? Thanks.
