Yeah, that's my bad, setup.c should say DISK80_SIG_BUFFER not DISKSIG_BUFFER.

With this, it works for me on my PowerEdge 4600 with disks on the aic7xxx, and the same int13 code works on all other PowerEdge servers we've ever tried it on. What kind of system and disks (IDE/SCSI) and BIOS do you have for those please?
