I have a Intel D875PBZ here, which has a i875/ICH5R. Kernel 2.6.10, works
perfectly (two ATAPI DVD units and one HD on the PATA channels, two SATA
drives on the SATA channels, BIOS set to enhanced mode).
Try applying the libatadev-queue patches from
ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/people/jgarzik/libata
They may fix the issues you have. If that happens, please email Jeff about
it, so that 2.6.12 has the fixes in.

I use:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=y
CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL=y

[...] this is not OK. Try this:
CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
(all other options in this block should be disabled)

You should enable CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS for complete SCSI support from
userland, your SATA devices ARE SCSI as far as almost everything in userland
is concerned (smartctl being the only one program that disagrees).

I use SR, SG and SR_VENDOR all set to y.
