For what it's worth, I had similar problems recently as well, although
I was getting ata_master: timeout waiting for command (from memory),
however I did have the ad device, and the problem seemed to be related
to some sort of conflict that appeared only when I had one of the
following also in the kernel :

options AUTO_EOI_1
options AUTO_EOI_2
device pcm
device pcf

I've not narrowed it down much yet, but suffice it to say that I got
almost the same problem described above, but which automagically fixed
itself once I took out the above 4 lines.

I doubt it's anything to do with this, but I thought I'd mention it in
case someone following this thread knows why this might happen.

I will look into it further once I've got the time to recompile another
20+ kernels and test them.
