/usr/src/linux-2.6.23.1$ grep nodma Documentation/ide.txt
  "ide=nodma"            : disable DMA globally for the IDE subsystem.

/usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5$ grep nodma Documentation/ide.txt
  "ide=nodma"            : disable DMA globally for the IDE subsystem.

/usr/src/linux-2.6.12# grep nodma Documentation/ide.txt
  "ide=nodma"            : disable DMA globally for the IDE subsystem.

Sorry, but I can not find this option, and it does not work. Which 
kernel do you use?

Thanks

Olli
