From the IRQ/port number you list, sounds like you're trying to
configure your secondary IDE controller (wdc1). I'm assuming your first
IDE controller (wdc0) detected correctly.
The standard IRQ and port assignments for the first two IDE
controllers are:
wdc0 = 1st IDE ctlr ==> IRQ 14, port base 1F0
wdc1 = 2nd IDE ctlr ==> IRQ 15, port base 170
Make sure your settings are set to that, then boot and look at the output
from running:
dmesg | grep wd
Hopefully things will probe OK. If not, post the output and we'll go from
there.
