Well, it can be wrong driver, who does not want to set DMA.

Anyway, it seems, by "(*) Leave as NEW" status, unsolved in upstream (:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6745

I think, boot log, hdparm /dev/cdrw, hdparm -i /dev/cdrw would be good
to have there.

Also, please try latest experimental (http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel)
or upstream (kernel.org linux2.6.21-rc5-git2) kernel.
