    Same here:

    Mar 4 01:01:06 darkside kernel: hde: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21
    Mar 5 01:02:00 darkside kernel: hde: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21
    Mar 6 01:10:22 darkside kernel: hde: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21

    Can you somehow correlate this to start of S.M.A.R.T selftests?

    I suspect it having something to do with 2.4.25 new "One last
    read after the timeout" in ide-iops.c and accessing the drive
    while selftest running (possibly especially short selftest).
    Here, daily at 01:00 smartmontools runs smart short selftests
    and a bit later the machine hangs.
    Today, I disabled that job and the machine stays stable.

    Dito... PDC20269 U133TX2
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_NEW=y

    And until now it was always hde connected to the promise
    controller.

    My machine did run at least since:
    Jan 18 09:41:21 darkside kernel: Linux version 2.4.24
    ...
    Feb 28 01:43:48 darkside kernel: Linux version 2.4.24
    Feb 28 04:58:47 darkside kernel: Linux version 2.4.25

    First time the problem occured was Mar 4 01:01:06.

    smartmontools last update was at Feb 14 03:04

    That's nothing. If you play it forwards, it installs NT.
