Me too :(. Just a slightly different case.
I have a server with 6x250Gb SATA drives, hanged on a pair of Promise
PDC20319 (FastTrak S150 TX4) (rev 02) controlers (each has 4 ports).
Main use for the box is as a smb/atalk/nfs server.

With 2.6.20-rc3-mm2+libata-dev2, the box is stable, we can drop
gigs of files throug samba amd it works.
Anything newer that that makes the box hang siliently, no messages,
no oops. It also happened to me with just a local wget of a big
file (oofice-2.0-beta), after download the box locked hard.

I tried to apply libata-dev1 on top of newer kernels, but part of it
is already there, and the rest drops too many rejects/offsets for
me.

I also have one other problem with flock, but thats subject for another
post...

Any ideas about what changed wrt sata ?
