Which seems to exist only while using the named combinations of DMA access
and kernel versions. While using i.e. 2.4.19 without DMA I can access the same data,
dd the whole disk to /dev/null or run badblock checks without finding
any physical media errors.

2.4.19 should complain, too, if there is a physical error indeed, right?
