Horst von Brand, you suggested it could be bad cabling or some other physical problem.
I have tried several cables (yes, UDMA66 cables), I have tried two Promise controllers,
I tried in two different boxes. I have 3 of the 'QUANTUM FIREBALLlct10 30' drives and one
'QUANTUM FIREBALLlct15 30' all having the same problem. I tried the IBM-DPTA-373420
and a Seagate ST38431A on the controllers and cables, without problems. Any more I should
try to avoid physical problems?

I have tried adding the drives to pdc_quirks_list under both 2.2.16 and 2.4. Under 2.4
it makes no change. I have discovered that when i put a IDE CD rom drive as master, and
the Quantum drive as slave, the box boots, but locks hard when enabling UDMA.

Below is console output from CDdrive+HD, and a hdparm -i on the Quantum drive:
