Philip and Bartlomiej,

I've been tracking an almost identical problem on my IA64 platform with 
a bk pull that is about a month old. 

I tracked it down to a duplicate vector request of 0x38 = 56 by the 
mmtimer -- take a look at /proc/interrupts, /proc/ioports, /proc/iomem 
and see if anything has requested the specific area that your CD is 
trying to get.

My output looked like:

SGIIOC4: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:01:01.0, revision 79
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xc00001080c200140-0xc00001080c200163
Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8588, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide0: Disabled unable to get IRQ 56.
Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8588, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hda: IRQ probe failed (0x4ffffffe)
Probing IDE interface ide1...
ide1: Wait for ready failed before probe !
Probing IDE interface ide2...
ide2: Wait for ready failed before probe !
Probing IDE interface ide3...
ide3: Wait for ready failed before probe !
Probing IDE interface ide4...
ide4: Wait for ready failed before probe !
Probing IDE interface ide5...
ide5: Wait for ready failed before probe !
ide0: DISABLED, NO IRQ

Bartlomiej, just a thought:

I think that the output of the failures of the probes for non-existant 
interfaces ide1-ide5 could be suppressed, no?

What would you think if we only output the "failed before probe" 
messages for interfaces that return -EBUSY from wait_hwif_ready? It 
would make the system boot a lot "prettier":)
