Just an extra data point here.
I have an A7V here also and I haven't seen anything wrong with my setup (but I'm using 2.2.18 + the IDE patches). Perhaps, I'm not hitting the bad cases or I'm not stressing the system enough. I'm using a Quantum lct15 drive here with UDMA/66 here. I have a Duron 600MHz and I remember that when I was setting the machine (after I bought it), I left everything in the default settings (so, the PCI Master Read Caching is disabled).

I also use 1003, but I have not tried anything else (for fear of something going wrong when I'm upgrading -- like a power outage). :-)
