    I have an ASUS P/I-P55T2P4...  Here's a snippet from dmesg:

Probing for devices on PCI bus 0:
chip0 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=8086 device=1250 subclass=0)> rev 1 on pci0:0
chip1 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=8086 device=7000 subclass=1)> rev 0 on pci0:7:
0
pci0:7:1: Intel Corporation, device=0x7010, class=storage (ide) [no driver assig
ned]

    My IDE controller is NOT disabled, but as you see, I get essentially
the same last line.

    I have an Adaptec 2940UW and a Diamond Stealth 2M VRAM video card on the
PCI bus and have noticed no problems with either.
