Had that problem to. Turn off the CMD64X chipset support
(CONFIG_BLK_DEC_CMD64X -- under the IDE menu).

PS: There seems to be some sort of bug in the Debian 2.4.20 kernel as well
(general). It doesn't hang, but it sure randomly scrambled the data on my
two IDE drivers...
PPS: So far 2.4.21 (with CMD64X disabled) hasn't corrupted any data for the
IDE drives yet... (course I'm mostly using a SCSI drive now)
