Yes we discussed this at the wakefield show, Ben did actually fix this
in -current however it didn't make it into 1.6.  The pull up request is
pending.  If you give me a few days I'll probably be able to knock up a
GENERIC kernel with a very specific fix for this.  Or will you need the
INSTALL kernel as well?  Note you will probably need to chase me (lots 8)

Yes, it's fairly simple change, in icside.c look for the matchpodule line,
change it so:
if (matchpodule(pa, MANUFACTURER_ICS, PODULE_ICS_IDE, -1) == 0)
becomes
if (pa->pa_product != PODULE_ICS_IDE)

Note I make no promises about this though.
