The non-working DMA is because there's a Bug in your Bios - it tries to enable UDMA Mode 5(UDMA100) despite the chipset controller is only capable uf running UDMA Mode 2 (UDMA33)
Get an UDMA tool program from Seagate and limit your HDD to UDMA33 and DMA will be available

1 Google hit for that ID at plasma-online identifies that as Kamtronic/TMC AI6NEL-E1-0421i440LX-Ali513-2A69JM2GC
There's only 1 BIOS archived for that, at:
http://web.archive.org/web/200109100152 ... i6nel1.exe and that appears to have a problem.

OK, PKZIPFIX fixes that. The BIOS file inside is:
04/08/1998-i440LX-Ali513-2A69JM2GC-00
AI6NEL-E1-0421
which is the one you have already.
It appears to support HDD up to 32GB and be patchable for more:

which is the one you have already.
