Hmm. You said that everything looked OK at your end. I've dug out a
P4 Xeon & booted an affected kernel on it. I get the stuck 'rm'
processes there as well. So it doesn't appear to be IDE chipset
dependant (ICH5 vs ServerWorks).

If nobody else is seeing this then I guess it could be a local
toolchain issue?. I'm running (and compiling on) Ubuntu Hoary.
