Installer uses dma for cd-rom?

It seems like fedora turns on dma for cd-rom drives, and that does not
work on a computer I have. Redhat 9 however works fine to install on that
machine.
I can get it to install if I give the kernel the parameter ide=nodma.
Is this really a good change? There are a lot of broken computers out
there that does not work with dma for the cdrom.
If it's not a mistake but an intended change, then I suggest that a
help text is added to help users find the ide=nodma.
