I wonder if this card of mine is what's bad.  I loaded Sarge 2.4 and the
Sunix driver and a new disk onto my test whore.  I got essentially the 
same sort of errors as with your driver (see below) but in this case,
abolutely nothing was ever reliable, including the partition table.  I'm
not sure I want to buy another card to test this out, though.  Maybe 
I'll put the card in my other machine just to verify it's not a mobo 
issue, though.   crapcrapcrap!

Sample errors:

drive not ready for command
status timeout: status = 0x80 { busy }

error = 0x00 { }
dma_intr: status = 0x51 {drive ready SeekComplete error}

My bet is on broken driver.  sunix driver doesn't seem like it was 
written carefully.  Anyways, thanks for testing.  It seems we'll either 
have to implement adma mode.  I'll mark the driver broken for 2.6.21. 
Thanks.
