When my system boots, I get several set_drive_speed_status errors.
(Please see attached dmesg output.)
Can someone explain what they mean? How do I get rid of them?
IDE code attempts to autotune PIO mode and fails at that because your
device is too old (or its manufacturer was too lazy) to support ATA-2 (or EIDE
from marketing PoV) is its full glory.
Is there something I need to set in the config? or something I should
not have set?
No, it just means that the IDE code is *too young* to support such
pre-EIDE devices. :-D
Bonus question: is there some way to turn on DMA for hda?

That means that you've managed to find pre-EIDE/ATA hardware which doesn't
support setting arbitrary PIO modes. What's funny is that resently being
discussed here, so expect a patch RSN. :-)

That explains it. :-)
