I had a problem which sounds very similar last week.

I started a forum thread here (before I discovered this DB):
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-virtualization-90/2.6.31-kernel-guest-os-on-vmware-esx-3.5.0-780042/ 

The solution (for us) was to regress out this kernel change:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git-commits-head/2009/6/12/5948973

A more resilient fix might be to leave ide_probe_port() as-is but to fix 
ide_wait_not_busy() to return the last successful rc code (only returning
-ENODEV if strictly no device is detected on the IDE port). I do not know what
other repercussions such a fix might have however.
