2.2.x and 2.4.0-xxx, do not share the same interrupt pin hack.

This is in 2.2.x patches.

printk("%s: onboard version of chipset, pin1=%d pin2=%d\n", d->name, pin1, pin2);
#if 1
/* I forgot why I did this once, but it fixed something. */
pci_write_config_byte(dev2, PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN, dev->irq);
printk("PCI: %s: Fixing interrupt %d pin %d to ZERO \n", d->name, dev2->irq, pin2);
pci_write_config_byte(dev2, PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE, 0);
#endif

It does the undocumented "mode 3" that I had to explain to HighPoint that
ABIT violated the OEM docs.

It is a PCI-addon chipset style deployed like a legacy chipset.

Primary channel is set to IRQ X and PIN A
Secondary channel is set to IRQ X++ and PIN B

This is not allowed by the guidelines but it you do the big nasty above,
it will fix it 99% of the time.

Add the above stub to ide-pci.c near or at line 756 to look like 2.2, then
retry and see if it fixes it. Then you bitch at Linus, not me, because it
is a functional kludge, but a "kludge".

Cheers,
