Bug Description

DMA is not enabled by default for this motherboard, and cannot be activated
using hdparm. The problem is that ide-generic module is loaded before amd74xx
ide module, and the first one can establish dma mode for this ide controller.
amd74xx is loaded during boot up, but *after* ide-generic, so then it's too
late. The solution: I must add amd74xx on /etc/modules before ide-generic.

May be a functionality to add to discover package?
