See my posts and others on these topics:
critical BOOT failure updating to latest 5-Stable (5.4)
5.3 -> 5.4 breaks ATA (Intel ICH2)
[PATCH] option to re-enable aggressive ATA probing
Those are from September 2005, when I and others started having problems
with the latest (poor) edits to the 5-Stable code.
There was obviously a regression for many of us with certain hard drives
or systems. As an important side note, notice that I am using a similar
computer to yours, an IBM PC365 with dual Pentium Pros. Although I have
not tried the patch due to lack of time, I hope that will fix your
issue. Also, I wonder if we share a similar bad BIOS issue in which our
systems seem to choke on this new code for IDE detection during boot
time. See my dmesg output in the archives.
BTW, this has effectively kept me from upgrading to the latest 5-Stable
since September, as it is not a quick and easy task on my old system.
Also, there might be another mailing list - ACPI or something where
there may be more answers.
I don't know if there is a PR for this, yet. I had thought of filing
one, but I sort of forgot. Check the archives to see if someone else did.
