Sure. It does not help in this situation in any way. Mandrake has
ide-scsi as module. Are you going to change it?

dma? I can do ideX=dma but not hdXX=dma ... besides, it is exactly what
I want to turn off :-)

Unfortunately kernel parameters are poorly documented for normal users
that Mandrake is targeted at. I already have an idea about using direct
echo -n setting:val > /proc/bus/hdXX/settings in our rc.sysinit using
definitions from /etc/sysconfig/harddisks if we detect ide-scsi'd drive
on devfs (for those settings that appear there). It looks pretty
trivial, I probably send patch to Chmouel later this week.
