I doubt that this helps fixing your problem, but I would like to mention that I noticed a problem that seems to appear frequently, when you have either Triton or Triton II based boards. As soon as the EIDE bus gets longer than about 12", there are bound to be data corruptions. So keep the flat-ribbon cable shorter than 12"; preferably, keep it shorter than 8". Alternatively, do not use EIDE at all :-)
BTW, this problem is not specific to Linux. I noticed it with a Triton I based computer that run Linux and a Triton II based computer that usually runs W95.
