I get this too on one of my machines. This particular machine is an
AMD486DX4-100 running with a buggy UMC640B EIDE controler chip. Is the
640B responsible? Will booting with a new kernel with 640B workarounds
compiled in work?

I never tried this. I have all my HDDs in removable cradles, so I just
moved the HDD to another machine to install everything, and then moved it
back. That probably wont help you though :-)
