I have similar issues with 20269. I have two cards on one box doing sw raid5
on 6 ide drives. It only runs stably with 2.4.19
It has been many months since I assembled that box, and I've tried kernels
from 2.4.20-ac, 2.5.x, 2.6.2 and all hang after some time running.

I remember that pdcs also hanged a dual processor box.
