Me too. But I couldn't get UDMA 66 after changing my BIOS settings and booting. With 33 it's very stable (what I used with 2.4.0). A diff:

-hda: 30015216 sectors (15368 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=1868/255/63, UDMA(33) +hda: 30015216 sectors (15368 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=1868/255/63, UDMA(66)
...

+ide0: reset: success

I know this is a known issue, but I thought testing would be OK. ASUS K7V with the shipped cable.

You system did something funny or the new VIA code did it. But because you observed this pattern the new feature that on Linux has kicked in and hopefull recovered the system for you.

Because you did not see DMA_DISABLED

The auto_dma_crc downgrade feature turned down the transfer rate of the drive/host pair until the iCRC issue stablized.

Cheers,
