intel D865PERL and DMA for disks (IDE)?

I am trying to set the DMA for ide disks but get the following error:

jojda:/home/erik# hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda

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

is it because it's not supported on given chipset or is there something I can do?

debian unstable
2.4.21-ac4 (+ libata5 patches from Jeff Garzik)
Intel D865PERL motherboard

there are only two kernel options that I can see are relevant to chipset I use:

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=m
CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=y

TIA

erik
