I don't remember which intel PCI chipset it was, but one of them had a
name that would make a user think that it had a PCI IDE controller
function, but in fact it didn't.  

looking at your dmesg info:

> pcib0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0

are there any other functions on that device?  If not, it doesn't
report itself as a PCI IDE controller...  You might check the
datasheet to see if, in fact, there's a real PCI IDE controller
(i.e. one that conforms to the PCI IDE controller spec) in there.
