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.
