Good one! thanks, also I forgot to write that I have a cdr-w on the same machine and dma was always working for it. so with your answer I recalled that in order to let the cdr-w work I had to add hdd=ide-scsi to the kernel in grub. that is why I could set up dma on my cdr-w and not in my dvd so I added hdc=ide-scsi for my dvd and also worked.
thanks for the tip.
