According to the rawhide report that was sent out after my message but
before your's, it was enabled in 1707, which I yum-updated to.

I was able to get the DVD/CD-RW to appear on /dev/scd0 after booting with
the "hdc=none" option.  DMA appears to be working too.

Thank you for your work and your reply.
