Okay, I tried putting the CD-RW as master and the DVD
as slave. I also tried disconnecting the DVD and just
having the CD-RW by itself. Both exhibit the same
symptoms. I also tried using hdparm to turn dma on
and off and tried both ways there with no luck..

Try putting the DVD reader as slave on the primary and the other harddrive as master on the secondary. CDROM's are not logical block devices and can have weird effects when trying to be master to another non-logical block device such as another CDROM. It's just the way EIDE was made. :)
