There is something in vanilla 2.4.17. Using the exact same .config and
filesystem as the one for 2.4.5 it crashes while 2.4.5 remains stable.
OTOH, I've finally managed to have an stable system for a week (I'm
actually using it right now) with 2.4.17. The difference is that
it's got the sis5513.c patch from Lionel Bouton that I found in
the lkml. I'm not using dma yet, though! The driver, as the previous
driver for this chipset, disables everything by default (but even
that didn't help for plain 2.4.17) That's what I'm going to test next,
using the above mentioned hdparm line.
