I still got the same "ide2: DISABLED, NO IRQ" message.  I tried booting with
pirq=0,0,18,0,16 and a number of other combinations (until somone complained
about the server not being available), and only succeeded in disabling the
keyboard at my last permutation; sshed in to reboot.

the PCI slots are like this:

back of main board
|  |  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |  |
e  e  e  e  c  |
m  m  t  m  m  a
p  p  h  p  d  g
t  t  1  t  6  p
y  y     y  4
            9

I think I'll wait till there's less demand for the server, then try booting it
with other kernel parameter values for pirq.

Thank you; I think I may eventually get these things working!
