I see that there have been some changes to drivers/ide.
I have not completely tracked this problem down yet, but here goes.
When I try to boot linux-2.5.6-pre2 and load the ide-mod.o module,
I get:
VP_IDE: VIA vt82c596b (rev 12) IDE UDMA66 controller on pci
: dma_base is invalid (0x0000)
ide0: Bus-Master DMA was diabled by BIOS
No IDE devices are detected (using devfs, /dev/ide/ exists
but is empty). The other machine that I tried this on is also a
vt82c596b (rev 23), and behaves the same way. Linux-2.5.3 seems
to work fine, however.

The PC is a P II 200Mhz with 128 MB RAM and a Promise ATA/66
controller, 2 ATA/100 60 GB disks ,a 3com 590 card.
It is a Rh 7.2 system with all patches applied, with raid1 sw and ext3 file
systems.
I get worse oopses with the 2.4.17 kernel and with the original RH 7.2
kernel and the same with ext2 instead of ext3.
The machine is a backup server with RH rsync-2.4.6-10 and I get oopses
after transferring to the PC about 2-4 GB of data.
For better information here you are the dmesg output and the the ksymoops of
the crashes:

__remove_from_queues expected a null pointer, or a valid one. 0x00000800 is
neither. It's a null pointer which has had a bit flip.
Most likely, the poor old pII-200 is wearing out.
