With my setup I have problems with the drive on the HPT366, the PIIXes
work just fine (4 drives attached).

My earlier comment seems to no longer hold water. I am still getting
those IRQ errors when banning heavily on the ATA/66 drive that is
attached to the HPT366. Right now /proc/interrupts says that ide2 is
sharing IRQs with one of the pcnet32's which can't be good.
Since Andre just released some IRQ sharing patches and might be working
on the very subject I am keeping quiet for now. Would be nice to get the
drive working though.

I am not sure. If my memory hasn't given up on me, I have had boards on
which the BIOS has had more to say about the IRQ/INT# assignment than
what it does on the BP6.

Not to my understanding. My original reply was a "just another BP6 thing"
-posting, I wasn't that sure it would be directly helpful to you.
Maybe in your case it's just about bad cabling/connectors/power supply
or just a dying drive?
