I also use BLK_DEV_PIIX + BLK_DEV_GENERIC configuration
(for testing purposes) and it works fine here.

[ Besides it shouldn't result in phantom hde & hdf devices
  and ide_generic blowing up on failure. ]

Have you tried the memset() fix that I proposed
(pata tree contains the revised patch now)?

pata_legacy.c has a proper fix which needs porting into ide-generic.c
(it should be pretty easy thing to do).

[ The fix is to skip automatic-probing of primary port and/or secondary
  one if a PCI controller using legacy I/O bases is detected:

	for_each_pci_dev(p) {
		int r;
		/* Check for any overlap of the system ATA mappings. Native
		   mode controllers stuck on these addresses or some devices
		   in 'raid' mode won't be found by the storage class test */
		for (r = 0; r < 6; r++) {
			if (pci_resource_start(p, r) == 0x1f0)
				primary = 1;
			if (pci_resource_start(p, r) == 0x170)
				secondary = 1;
		}
		/* Check for special cases */
		legacy_check_special_cases(p, &primary, &secondary); ]

Bart
