Tejun, I've kept a dual Athlon MP  box with Promise controller on standby since
1st Nov,  to aid with any testing effort should it help.

I very much want these IDE ATA controllers to be supported well by 2.6 kernel. 
As the machine has been idle since 1st, apart from test of Live CD's, I can do
whatever it takes on that box, and will make time to do it.

So does this help?  Should I update to OS 10.3 updates, and run bonnie, dbench
etc?  Then report back.  I haven't opened up a new Bug report, because it
looked like my problem was duplicate of Thomas's.
