I think I might be having the "same type of bug" or something related using sata_via?
Bug opened at bugzilla: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6317
This started appearing with 2.6.16. It often does it using only one SATA HD. It does not do it at every boot but often starts doing it after a little while (a few hours...) and finally hanging my PC.

I can duplicate my problem everything, and I can make it stop a will.
doing "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=64k &"
and then
"dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=64k &"
will cause the problem within a couple of seconds.
Doing "kill %1 %2" (assuming the dd's are %1 and %2) will
stop the machine from hanging on disk io within 30-60 seconds.
Once it hangs it does not appear to do any disk io until the
offending processes are killed.
