<snip> Since you didn't mention it I assume you haven't tested the ide cables.
Did you try changing the cables?
I myself have been experiencing problems that were related to a faulty ide cable which looked fine on the surface. The kernel will try resetting ideX continuously causing (in my case) filesystem corruption in the end... It's not a pretty sight.
