Is there any simple way to force the old IDE driver to limit the DMA speed for a particular device? I've got a situation where a drive claims to be capable of supporting UDMA/100, but it's in a noisy environment and gets lots of errors at that speed. I'd like to limit it to UDMA/66 or even UDMA/33. The hdparm command should be able to do this but I can't run it until the system has booted, by which time a bunch of CRC and possibly other errors have already occurred. Ideally it should be possible to limit the speed starting as early as device detection, but I can't find any way to do it. Is there support for such a thing or will I have to hack it in?
