I've still been battling to get this hardware detected with any of the
drivers mentioned previously except the newer libata piix driver. However
when using the old driver and using "all-generic-ide" and "irqpoll" as
kernel parameters I now have the device being detected albeit complaining
about lost interrupts and DMA timeouts. Here is the output from the hdparm
-I /dev/hda that you requested:

/dev/hda:
