Second, Unless you have a BIOS that disables UDMA or have a tool from
quantum....It will hang hard and tight with out the retuning of the
chipset. If you are insist on using a UDMA drive on a chipset that can
detect and fail to backspeed the device, Linux will never boot.
Disable auto DMAing for now in your build.

For the RECORD, the code got it correct and backspeed the drive the DMA
mode 2 from UDMA mode 2.
Bus 0, device 0, function 0:
Host bridge: Intel 82437VX Triton II (rev 1).
Medium devsel. Master Capable. Latency=32.
Bus 0, device 7, function 0:
ISA bridge: Intel 82371SB PIIX3 ISA (rev 0).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. Master Capable. No bursts.
Bus 0, device 7, function 1:
IDE interface: Intel 82371SB PIIX3 IDE (rev 0).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. Master Capable. Latency=32.
I/O at 0xffa0 [0xffa1].
You are dead in the water without the retuning, IMHO.
