It is known bug which I reported to Andre already. Open
drivers/ide/ide.c in favorite text editor, and replace strange
body of ide_delay_50ms() with simple mdelay(50). Promise driver
invokes ide_delay_50ms with interrupts disabled, so it freezes
here forever. If you have NMI watchdog, you'll get nice oopses.
As for DMA failure itself, I have no idea what is wrong in your
case, but I found that mine Promise works with Linux only iff there
is master on each channel, slave alone does not work. And I did not
tried master+slave together.
