Same problems here. My kernel version is 2.4.22, but more important is 
that the driver version is 1.06. My card is manufactured by "VScom" and 
it looks almost identical compared to the evaluation card made my 
Silicon Image.

Here are my snippets:

Oh, and running 'hdparm -X[anything here] -d1 -c1 -K1' makes my system 
get stuck and I have to reset.
