I'm done debugging ATA for now.  I spent 8 hours tracking down the first 
bug (not counting the time lost tracking down a non-existent routing 
table bug triggered by the ATA bug) and 15 minutes on the second one.

ACPI does not affect ATA other than setting up IO ports and IRQs.  I 
have no idea what can cause ATA to use PIO over UDMA.
