This is a kernel issue. There are only a few courses open to you:
- file a bug against the kernel-image you are using
- surf the web and see if others have had this problem on your
hardware, and found a workaround
- use a different set of boot-floppies. For instance, if you were
using the vanilla set (cd#1), try the idepci set. See the
documentation.
- try the woody version if you feel like testing whether it's fixed in
a newer kernel (I think woody and Potato are pretty much using the
same kernels now though)
