Hi again. I've thought I've already given up but just to be sure and not
forget about anything (yes, some people - like me - don't know when to
stop and go home):

1. Have you tried another ide cables?
2. Do they stick ok?
3. How about unplugging CD completely from the motherboard?
4. Perhaps you need to compile via-specific options into your kernel.

In my case, every time I've seen lost interrupt it was something from the
above.

bye
