Yes u are right, IMO it has nothing to do with CD/DVD writer
or HDD itself, it depends on IDE chipset driver.
My mobo is also based on i865 chipset, one SATA and one PATA
HDD connected.
If I use 2.4 kernel, both drives are fast, also DMA on PATA drive
is on, but using 2.6 kernel PATA HDD gives sustain rate only
~2MB/s, DMA setting fails with "Operation not permitted" error.
"lshw" says this:

Although I have "ata_piix.o" compiled in kernel (listed by lshw), there
is only slow generic PATA support available.
