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.
