I have now disabled "CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO" such that initially DMA is
disabled for /dev/hda and /dev/hdb. I have then enabled DMA only for
/dev/hdb with hdparm (keeping DMA disabled for /dev/hda) but the problem
persists and DMA for /dev/hdb will be disabled when I try to mount a
cdrom. It seems that the DMA-setting for /dev/hda has no influence on
this.

Actually, I forgot to mention that the dmesg-output I have put in my
former message corresponds actually to the case with both
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO and CONFIG_IDEDMA_ONLYDISK enabled such that at boot
DMA is enabled for the harddisk but not for the CDrom and I used hdparm to
enable it for the latter.

Here the diff of dmesg before and after the modification:
