Hmm.. Interestingly this seems to be a IDE layer problem not specific to the
drive in question. No matter what CD / DVD drive I put into my lapatop DMA is
not enabled. (I tried replacing this TSSTCorp drive with a Pioneer drive
which was doing DMA fine with Linux on another machine, but with this laptop,
I can't set DMA on it.)
Any clues, workarounds, hint of a place to start debugging this?

You're using the generic ATA driver, not the one specific for your chipset, thus
it's unlikely you'll get DMA on it at all. Judging by the fact you're using
ata_piix for your SATA hard disk, try using the piix ATA driver for your
on-board IDE. I assume you built your own kernel and forgot to enable this driver.
HTH,
Chris
