When trying to compile the latest rsynced kernel (checked today, 2004-01-09)
from source.mvista.com::linuxppc-2.5-benh (2.6.1-rc1-ben1) for my G5, I
run into the following message with SATA:

rsync again

Figured from the other mails that mvista wasn't up to date at the point,
so with a 2.6.1-ben1 it compiled and booted fine. Thanks.

Any news on when DVD-writing will be possible with DMA turned on?

It doesn't work at the moment ?

When I, on the G5, run:

growisofs -Z /dev/hda -dvd-video dvddir

I get:

ide0, timeout waiting                   for dbdma command stop
ide-cd: dma error
hda: DMA disabled
hda: dma error: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
hda: dma error: error=0x00
cdrom_newpc_intr: 4 residual after xfer
cdrom_newpc_intr: 4 residual after xfer

And hdparm shows the drive to no longer have DMA turned on, which it did
before running growisofs.

The same command on a B&W G3 runs fine with DMA (2.4.23 kernel).

So, to answer your question, it seems it does not work, no.
