Chances are it's a bug in the PIO IDE driver or it's interaction with
update_mmu_cache(). If I'm right you should not see the issue if you
boot of another block device with DMA like a PCI PATA/SATA card.
Which generally is a sane thing to do - the onboard controller is a
quick hack to demonstrate the capabilities of the BCM1250's GPIO features;
in practical terms it totally sucks but I SATA card solves that. If
you do that, get a 64-bit card. 32-bit DMA PCI cards have other issues
in Sibyte systems.
