FWIW, I've now got 2.4.21pre6 running on there, enabled DMA with hdparm, and 
haven't gotten any lost interrupt errors yet even after heavy disk I/O....

The message:

SABRE0: Uncorrectable Error, primary error type[DMA Write:Translation Error]
(and then subsequent I/O MMU errors)

during boot are a little disconcerting, but they don't seem to matter.
