too quick on the trigger finger.  i think i understand
correctly that the same drive works fine if the southbridge
is in ide mode.  in that case, i'm not sure what's going on.
the drive is identifying correctly, but read/write commands
fail.  if we assume that this kernel uses interrupts to identify
the drive, then the problem isn't interrupts, it's that the
read/write commands are failing.  that really does look
like drive failure, and i'd be pretty surprised if the drive
worked in ide mode.
