Also, you might want to try patching your kernel with Andre Hedrick's
multi-platform uniform IDE driver (look at
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/). You _might_
need additional patches to get it to boot; if so, get back to me, and
I'll produce a diff against my working kernel.

I don't know if you read my most recent info, but after disconnecting the
cdrom drive (hdc), I'm getting lots of 
hda: lost interrupt

My dmesg otherwise looks the same - just drop every mention of hdc. If you
think that uniform IDE driver would help with my current problem let me know
and I'll give it a shot.

Definitely give it a try. Do you know what hardwre is your IDE
interface? Is it integrated into some chipset? If so, which one?
