Well, I looked around in the BIOS and there isn't anything I can do to
force a specific UDMA - it only offers disable and auto detect.
Upgrading the BIOS firware won't do a thing since I'm already running
the latest version of it. The BIOS correctly reports that my first
disk is using Transfer Mode 6 and my second one Transfer Mode 5. I've
also noticed that some Ubuntu users have the same problem on kernel
2.6.27 (which works for me)

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/285595

So if this can't be fixed in the kernel itself, I may need to resort
to kernel params if I experience the problem again in the future. I
may give all rc's of 2.6.30 a try and see which one introduces it...
