system hangs with all-generic-ide & irqpoll

I am still battling with my Intel DG965 motherboard and getting Linux to
recognise the ide compnents - the DVD & 2nd hard drive.
I'm using the latest kernel 2.6.19, but that still doesn't recognise the
ide or PATA components. While using all-generic-ide & irqpoll does
allow those items to be recognised the system runs slower and
will freeze randomly, requiring a reboot. I use kde as my desktop.
Switching the SATA to AHCI is really not an option as that will
require reinstallation of systems (this is a dual boot system).
Incidentally, the much-loathed Windows works perfectly and
recognises everything.
I have applied the latest BIOS updates from Intel, so other
than wait for a kernel update, what to do?
