Interestingly, noirq didn't actually help. The main difference seems to be that DMA is not automatically enabled for my drives with the 2.6.14 kernel, and I'm getting permission denied errors when trying to enable it with hdparm.
Seems like piix is coming up too late and the ide device is already claimed by a generic driver that doesn't do dma. I'm building ide/piix into the kernel now to see if that helps.
