Although this isn't immediately related to ATA, I've found that Intel L440GX+ boards *hate* AUTO_EOI_2 when running SMP. They freeze going into multiuser mode. Took me quite a while to figure that out. So if you're having wacky interrupt-related problems and have AUTO_EOIs in your kernel, you should take them out first.
