Ok, here we go - test with linux-image-2.6.24.

1) I tested with daily Live CD 01-08-2008 (2.6.24-2-generic), it loaded
ok, then I tried to select partitions on disk on that controller and
format them. Result was total freeze which I could end only with reset.
Freeze started slowly, as box were getting overwhelmed by malicious
data.  After reboot I got borked GRUB at MBR, as it seems tried to write
partition table and failed. I have to mention that Live CD with Gutsy
kernel, it also crashed, but it didn't succeed in writing anything in
hard disk. See dmesg attached for Live CD dmesg with information about
devices;

2) Then I tried your suggested method in last comment. I got 
linux-image-2.6.24-3-generic. Result is:
* Slower reading, as mentioned. However, it didn't crash or stopped, I can boot 
it all the time. Just slowly reading and writing, andwriting is also ok, no bad 
data or freeze;
* Strange errors from CD-ROM device (/dev/hdc), which could be part of 
problems. For example, when I booted in kernel, message about CD with data and 
music appeared, however there was no CD in device. Also attached 
dmesg-hardy-hdd.txt for dmesg dump;

I can do any other tests, as I leave this kernel installed for now. Just
tell me what you need.
