in my case there was a problem with 2.2.16, sometimes lost interrupts,
especially during boot when pmud told hdparm to do "-d1 -p -S 0 /dev/hda"
_after_ a solid lock due to a simple 'stty < ttyS2'
If it was rebooting after a normal shutdown there was no dma2 problem.
Andre's and Raf's dma2-pb3400 issues may vary a little bit.
2.2.17pre13-ben2 handles this situation with timeout=10000 and ..
you know it better for ide-pmac.c, Michael ;)
Besides, Andreas' serial patch in this kernel has given me back my pcmcia modem.
