I have heard those things. I have a crash I can reproduce on a VIA Esther, and 
it happens even when I boot linux with "ide=nodma" and when I completely 
disable DMA in the BIOS.

The crash is very predictable:
Run asterisk, and put 100 call files one each 0.5 seconds.  Make them call 
another machine (I use SIPp). System dies between 20 seconds.

Dernot, can you provide links please?
