SATA drives are treated as scsi in the kernels. Therefore you dont
have to enable DMA on them. it should also be accessed at /dev/sda not
/dev/hda. if DVD's are slow enable dma for the dvd drive. If that
fails, the kernel might be setup to only use dma for disk drives, so
rolling your own might be a good idea.
