So does this mean that expecting to have DMA on two disc drives is unreasonable
or is there a bug somewhere?

I am having the same problem and I also have two disc drives with DMA enabled on
the same channel. However the error is not as repeatable for me. It only occurs
every third boot or so. I guess I can turn dma off on the DVD-ROM as I'm only
using it for extra packages.
DMA works in Windows so I don't know whether the hardware should take the blame.
But then again, so much pc hardware is crappy at implementing standards which
leads to interesting phenomenon. They seem to just bang out new devices rather
than making them properly.

Also, how do I apply that debugging procedure to a non removable device?
