I think I actually have a PDC20262 sitting unused in one of my machines. If I
find time I will have a go at plugging into an ARM box and see if I get any
sort of respectable disk throughput.

Not really. I had some strange problem with recent 2.3 kernels that seemed to
go away when I added a NOP to the front of head-armv.S, though I didn't debug
it any further. I know at least one other person has reported that 2.3.19
fails to boot when 2.3.18 was OK. It's weird.
You could try enabling the `low-level debugging' stuff, sprinkling calls to it
through the early initialisation code and seeing if you can work out where it
crashes. If you currently use a zImage then you could see if uncompressed
kernels are any better to eliminate one potential point of failure.
