Hi,

I noticed that a bad CD of mine makes DMA disabled:

hda: selected mode 0x44
hda: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x40 { LastFailedSense=0x04 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x40 { LastFailedSense=0x04 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x40 { LastFailedSense=0x04 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x40 { LastFailedSense=0x04 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: DMA disabled
hda: ide_intr: huh? expected NULL handler on exit
hda: ATAPI reset complete

Every time I put the said CD into to drive and DMA is on, I get the above messages. Two things are interesting: first, it gets mounted correctly and readable and
second, when DMA was already disabled no such messages occur in the logs.
Anyhow, I would need DMA to correctly burn CDs/DVDs...
What can I do besides manually re-enable DMA?
All other disks I have tried behave perfectly.
This happened on 2.6.22[-rcX], 2.6.23-rc3-git1 and 2.6.20-1.2962.fc6.
This is on a Fedora Core 6 system. CD/DVD is using the old IDE drivers:

Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx

NFORCE-MCP55: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
NFORCE-MCP55: BIOS didn't set cable bits correctly. Enabling workaround.
