Sorry to spoil your fun, but I've tried debian's kernel 2.6.5 and it hangs with udma3. Even a umda2 setting has hanged my machine after 2 hours. For now I'm back to 2.4.25 to get a working machine. On the other hand, it looks like kernel people are making some progress: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1203 Some other workaround (and patches) are suggested.
