iirc, there are three big issues i've seen with the ide driver.
1.  incorrrect pio timings,
2.  missed interrupts
3.  assumption that dma doesn't work.

the 9atom driver addresses all three of these issues.
but you may find it easier to chip away at the issue.
correcting the timings and adding the vid/did.  or
use the ahci driver, which tends to be more reliable
on newer hardware.  here's the ide source for comparison:

	/n/atom/plan9/sys/src/9/pc/sdide.c

what does your fs configuration string look like?
