Here's what I've tried with my nforce2 board (a7xn8x deluxe) with
/etc/yaird/Default.cfg and linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7 v 2.6.14-5:

ide-generic + ide_disk             -> boot, no DMA
ide-generic + ide_disk + amd74xx   -> boot, no DMA

amd74xx +  ide-generic + ide_disk  -> boot,    DMA :-)
amd74xx +                ide_disk  -> boot failure
