If no others reply and the issue can be reproduced reliably, running a
git bisect between v2.6.29 and v2.6.30 to trace the cause of the
regression could be an option.
Looking at the changes in drivers/ata/ahci.c, it might be worth to try if reverting the following commit fixes the issue:

commit a5bfc4714b3f01365aef89a92673f2ceb1ccf246
Author: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>

ahci: drop intx manipulation on msi enable

It's a bit of a wild guess though.
i reproduced the issue.

i will report back after a compile run of gcc-4.3.4 with a kernel
without the commit you suggested.

-alex
4 compilation runs of gcc-4.3.4 finished without the issue re-appearing.
it seems like you guessed right, Frans.
i also found this:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=31b239ad1ba7225435e13f5afc47e48eb674c0cc
i'll report on bugzilla.

thanks for the help.
