I have found nothing to set it, so I opened my blade and unplugged the
speaker, and now I feel much better :)

I believe DMA is causing problem with the DVD drive and not with the HD
(at least in my case). So you can enable DMA only for disks in kernel
config : there is an option like "Enable DMA only for hard disk" (or
something like that) in IDE section (since kernel 2.4.19 or 2.4.20, I
don't remember).
