Instability/Crash with Promise Controller and Athlon Powersaving

Hello developer,
I don't know what it is, but it seems to be a bug in the promise code.
3 Test Computer
First :
ECS K7VTA3 Bios 5.0c (newest), Promise PDC20268, Athlon 1800+, kernel 2.4.21 /
2.4.22 / 2.4.23-rc1 / OS debian stable
Second :
EPOX, Promise PDC20262, Athlon 2600+ kernel 2.6.0test9 / OS gentoo
Third :
ECS K7VZA3, Promise PDC20268, Duron 1333 (later : Duron 800), kernel 2.4.21 /
2.4.22 / OS debian testing
Always the same ...
Everything works perfect, but when I enable the STPGNT-Mode (Stop Grant Mode)
(-> http://www.daniel.nofftz.net/linux/) I get one problem : Writing (large
files) to a disc on the promise controller. The speed is very slow, or the
computer hangs after transfering 70-100 Mbyte, but some minutes later it
works for the next 100 Mbyte. Sometimes the machine totally crashs, but I
don't get any error messages. Everything else working perfect!!
I have only permanent access to the first configuration if there are
questions.
Thanks for help,
Nils
