You got this to work on a Via Epia? Mine would always hang Linux after a while. There's a 4 year old bug in the Via Southbridge chips that don't appear to be compatible with most variants of Linux. I understand this issue is DMA related. I never thought of disabling DMA though.

It hangs on soekris and grub doesn't works but I noticed it works on a Via Epia machine!! It's very odd!
