This is almost certainly a problem outside of the IDE handling in that
case. The jmicron controllers are smart, there is basically no code to
the IDE driver to go wrong (especially in the case of using the old IDE
for the PATA port where you basically use zero code that hasn't been
tested for years).
Could this be a hardware problem then? The CD-ROM is recognized by
BIOS and I'm able to boot bootable CDs fine.
Could it be a setting in BIOS? I did try to switch from Enhanced to
Compatible mode, but problem persists.
With the ide driver, the device is recognized, but when I attempt to
mount it, il times out, gets reset and my machine locks up at times.

Do you get the odd timeout or continuous timeouts ?
With the pata_jmicron, the device is not recognized. I get the
timeouts only during the probing during the boot phase.
