Tried that but still get this error:
[root at terrabyte ~]# hdparm -d1 -X66 /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
setting xfermode to 66 (UltraDMA mode2)
using_dma = 0 (off)
If this worked I would put this in the /etc/rc.local file which gets run
at startup.

Thanks for the pointer on this bug report. Sad part is that I had done
some searches on this before building the system and had not come across
it. I initially thought it might be something with using KDE but the
same problem occurs using Gnome.
Thanks for the info.
