Perhaps one funny thing which got me with 2.4.19-rc3-ac3 bites you here
too:

With a "VIA vt82c596b (rev 23) IDE UDMA66 controller on pci00:07.1" a am
not able to boot or read the partition-table, UNLESS I select
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y

If want to play safe and "use the slow pio modes" its broken, with
dma from the start it works without further problems.
