lshw:
          product: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H10A
          physical id: 0
          bus info: ide
          logical name: /dev/hda

DMA was automatically enabled for this device with the previous kernel
(kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5.i686.rpm;  not 100% certain it was this, /may/
have been kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5.i686.rpm that was OK).

This is now working OK in 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5smp.
