Hmm...if you can use IDE driver for your root partition, change #undef ATA_DEBUG to #define ATA_DEBUG in include/linux/libata.h and rebuild the kernel. After booting, insmod pata_pdc2027x and please report what the kernel says. It might be that the controller doesn't interact well with libata's device discovery code using reset. IDE drivers use different method for device detection so that's probably where the difference is coming from.
