Sorry.  I had hoped that we would see something like:

NFORCE2: IDE controller (0x10de:0x0065 rev 0xa2) at  PCI slot 0000:00:09.0
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA

(but, presumably, without the 'DMA')

and could have gone from there.

I think you need someone who knows a bit more about DMA.

Just a thought - it's not a dodgy IDE cable?
