I hate to reply to myself, but I've realized more information may be
needed.  The HPT card uses the hpt374 chip (ATA chipset that has had
linux support for at least a year or so).  I've also tried disabling the
onboard PATA ports (incase they are stomping on ideX) with no success. 
I noticed in the kernel config help that the hpt366 driver requires
"ide-probe" during boot, which is probably why noprobe lets the
boot-process continue but kills the drive's access.

This is the last line in the boot process when it hangs:
hdc: ATAPI 52X CD-ROM drive, 120kB Cache, DMA

Is there anyway to figure out why this card doesn't work?

Thanks again,

Dale
