Hi Luigi,

Thanks for the detailed report. Unfortunately, I currently don't have any 
ideas on how to fix the problem. Same kernel images work fine on the 
systems with other IDE controllers, so the generic IDE stuff seems to be 
ok. Must be some weird interaction between it and ALI driver.

Best regards,
