Sorry if I annoyed or bothered You or any other one on the list.

I didn't expect that You or any other immediately care about my problems 
and solve them or already have a solution. I could try to fix the driver 
myself but as it seems to be a SIL-specific Problem I need the help or 
some hints from someone who has the (nda-)docs. Maybe they already noted 
this as an errata for which some kind of quirk is needed.

I worked-around the problem by putting the discs on a different 
controller. It seems that this only happens with these Samsung-drives on 
this controller.

Just in case you face this or a similar Problem in the future or find 
the time to investigate it...

BTW: with the siimage driver the transfer-rate is low (20MB/s instead of 
45MB/s) but at least it's working.

BTW2: same with 2.6.12-rc5-mm2
