A friend of mine had a similar problem, which we cured by switching the
order of components connectd along the DMA chain - he originally had
ST-hard disks-SLM804 controller, and the problem disappeared when we
switched it to ST-SLM804-hard disks.  (Or it might have been the other
way round - can't remember, and from my experience with such setups
there's no logic to it.)

No guarantees, but maybe worth a try if all else fails.
