I found something in the web about this:

"Due to a limitiation of the kernel you cannot use DMA with an IDE
device in the module bay if the computer was booted without a device
plugged in."

This is a quotation from Tim Stadelmann the author of hotswap.

Is this information still right? I would be happy about some hints to
deal with.
