I can not help if you have a device that not compliant to the rules.
ATA-2 is OBSOLETED thus we forced (the NCITS Standards Body) the CFA
people to move to ATA-4 or ATA-5.
That device is enabling with its ablity to assert its device->host
interrupt regardless of the HOST...that is a bad device.
Send me the manufacturer and I will tear them apart for making a
non-compliant device. Then figure out a way to de-assert the like
regardless if it exists without hang the rest of the driver.
Cheers,
