After some experiments it works. I've found 2 issues.

1. The keyboard doesn't work. Here is a piece of log from the serial port:
=====================================
PNP: 03f0.5 init
Keyboard init...
Keyboard input buffer would not empty
=====================================

2. I had to change filo-0.5\drivers\ide.c function
'find_ide_controller'. For some reason it first looks for IDE
controller with class 0x0180 and only if nothing was found looks for
class 0x0101. I think it is wrong, but where can I report about that?
It worked right for me after this change:
-dev = pci_find_device(-1, -1, 0x0180, -1, pci_index); // S-ATA first.
+dev = 0;
