Some updates: recompiled the kernels without the VIA driver (actually, compiled as a module but not loaded). With 2.4.27, I don't have the CRC errors anymore, though I can't get DMA to work (is because I load the generic PCI driver afterwards?). With 2.6.18, I get this: VFS: Cannot open root dev

ext3fs errors with kernel 2.6.18 but not with 2.4.27
