I had similar problems on my MSI motherboard (via sata controller). I
added acpi=off to the kernel params, and now it works fine... There was
a brief period (earlier kernels) where I also had to use the pci=biosirq
option in order to get the controller to work. I have no idea if adding
the options will help you or not, but it's probably worth a try : )
