I've just taken a look at the original dmesg and noticed something which
could be significant:

[    0.004000] PCI-DMA: Using software bounce buffering for IO (SWIOTLB)
[    0.004000] Placing software IO TLB between 0x20000000 - 0x24000000

Quentin, when you get the opportunity could you attach a new Jaunty
dmesg captured without any workarounds in place, and also:

uname -a
sudo lspci -vvnn > /tmp/lspci-vvnn.log
lsmod >/tmp/lsmod.log

Secondly, would it be possible to try temporarily removing 2GB of RAM (I'm 
guessing the system has 2 x 2GB RAM modules) and seeing if the problem still 
occurs?
With only 2GB of RAM the software bounce buffering required by Intel CPUs that 
have no IOMMU controller will not be used. The main test is to reduce total RAM 
to less than 4GB.
