YaST -> System -> /etc/syconfig Editor -> Hardware -> IDE ->
DEVICES_FORCE_IDE_DMA

enter:

/dev/hda:-c1 /dev/hdc:-c1

You can also include other options for hdparm here by using the format:

<device>:<option>:<option>:<option>


Why do people insist on using a screwdriver to hammer nails? If you
know enough to fool around with hdparm, you should be able to master
bash and an editor.

Put this in boot.local (adjust for your local hardware):

hdparm -A1 -c1 -d1 -m16 -u1 /dev/hda
hdparm -A1 -c1 -d1 -m16 -u1 /dev/hdb
hdparm -A1 -c1 -d1 -m16 -u1 /dev/hdc
hdparm -A1 -c1 -d1 -m16 -u1 /dev/hdd
hdparm -A1 -c1 -d1 -m16 -u1 /dev/hde
hdparm -A1 -c1 -d1 -m16 -u1 /dev/hdf
hdparm -A1 -c1 -d1 -m16 -u1 /dev/hdg
hdparm -A1 -c1 -d1 -m16 -u1 /dev/hdh
hdparm -A1 -c1 -d1 -m16 -u1 /dev/hdi
hdparm -A1 -c1 -d1 -m16 -u1 /dev/hdj
