I had problems with my IDE controller as well (PWS500au).  Got around them by 
custom compiling a kernel without my specific chipset support (i.e. just 
generic IDE support).

I guess the IDE controller (a CMD646) is pretty buggy and removing support for 
it from my kernel stops the enabling of anything other than the most generic 
features.
