Since you don't mention any working version, I assume that Linux
has never worked correctly on this system.

That post is about the fact that your disk doesn't work unless you
use "irqpoll".  That just means the interrupts don't appear where
we expect them, which has nothing to do with the PCI address space
collisions.

I'm sorry I don't know enough about interrupts to help more.  If
I were debugging it, I would start by adding printks to the
pirq_enable_irq() path and see if I could figure out why it works
for some devices, but for IDE.
