Sorry I have to ask, but.. which polled ide code are you talking about? LinuxBIOS native, Etherboot 5.0.6 or Etherboot 5.1.7?
Given that the mentioned command does not occur in etherboot 5.1.7 it sounds like the builtin IDE driver. Richard please try the etherboot one. Ron was looking at backporting it.
There are no magic delay funnies and the code has been tested with quite a few drives.
