Isn't that what I said? :)

There's an option in the kernel to only enable DMA for hard drives, but 
not removable media.  RedHat turned this on in their kernel for 
stability reasons (it causes problems in very rare circumstances, mostly 
older systems).  Basically there's a bunch of ways around it to enable 
DMA again on your DVD drive; pick any of them and run with it.
