Sure, sounds reasonable.

I have to check but I think it would be (it is part of the source rpm).
I could, of course, configure the kernel with that option "ON" instead
of "OFF" and that gives you the chance to reverse the behavior with a
kernel option at boot time but it is also a hack. 

I would assume it is a kernel bug that is triggered with your particular
combination of controllers. What does lspci say about the ide
controllers?
