no problem. Other than we will release hoary in few days, so there is not much time
to get this one fixed (given that there is a fix)

Ok.

This is due to a loadmodule order issue. Probably ide-generic is loaded before the
module that handle specifically your chipset. A workaround is to force the latter
via /etc/modules. There should be a bug open for this, but i can't find it right
now.
It is in bugzilla anyway.

Ok.

Yes, both of solutions are fine.
