I'm sorry, but "recent 2.6.24-rc kernels" unfortunately is a statement almost
as broad as "there's a violent fire in India, please come and rescue us!",
given that this very issue has been handled with lots of activity by Tejun Heo
recently (see bug #9530 and http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/9/184 for details).

2.6.24-rc6 is the version that has all ACPI IDE fixes in a state that made
my system fully work, so there should be a sizeable chance that it works
for you, too, hopefully.

What's interesting is that you're ALi-based, whereas I'm VIA-based, so
your problem might still be unsupported by -rc6 after all.

Argh, just saw this at the very last moment, IOW if this is _really_
-rc6+ already then we certainly do have a problem.

Disassembled ACPI BIOS AML code (DSDT) of your machine would be very useful
in this case, I'm afraid (done via acpidump and iasl, search the internet for
pointers).
lspci -x or better -xxx of the IDE device would be very useful, too.

Thanks for your verbose report,

Andreas Mohr
