It seems likely that the HPT366 is operating with DMA (not just
UDMA/66, but all kinds of DMA operations) disabled. Could you
show us the boot messages concerning the HPT366 controller?

Get the 2.2.16 kernel tarball, apply the Hedrick IDE patches
(I suppose the -pre7 patches would have to do for now), and
then rebuild the kernel. You might want to use the package
kernel-package to help you with that.
(Alternatively, if you manage to figure out what actually caused
this, just fix it so that UDMA/66 would be enabled.)
