dma turned off

Hi,

Slackware 10

When I switch to kernel 2.6.7 I get the following error message on boot:

* Warning: The dma on your hard drive is turned off. *
* This may really slow down the fsck process. *

Apparently with the command "hdparm -d /dev/hda" dma is turned on.

Where in /etc/rc.d if that is the place do I put this command?

However, giving the command from the console as root after booting I get:

setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)

How to resolve?

Thanks & regards
