Ah!  Ok, let's see.

| 04:05.0 IDE interface [0101]: Integrated Technology Express, Inc. IT8213 IDE Controller [1283:8213] (prog-if 85 [Master SecO PriO])

Please test the attached patch by performing the following steps
(roughly based on [1]):

 0. Prerequisites

	apt-get install build-essential fakeroot
	apt-get build-dep linux-2.6

 1. Get the source

	apt-get source linux-2.6
	cd linux-2.6-<version>

 2. Patch it

	patch -p0 < <path to patch>

 3. Build it

	fakeroot debian/rules source
	fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_amd64_none_amd64

 4. Test it (as root)

	dpkg -i ../<name of package>
	reboot

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
