Hmm.. Interestingly this seems to be a IDE layer problem not specific to the 
drive in question. No matter what CD / DVD drive I put into my lapatop DMA is 
not enabled. (I tried replacing this TSSTCorp drive with a  Pioneer drive 
which was doing DMA fine with Linux on another machine, but with this laptop, 
I can't set DMA on it.)

Any clues, workarounds, hint of a place to start debugging this?
