The dialogue seems to point to this upstream commit:
commit 73472a46b5b28116b145fb5fc05242c1aa8e1461

x86: Disable HPET MSI on ATI SB700/SB800
HPET MSI on platforms with ATI SB700/SB800 as they seem to have some
side-effects on floppy DMA. Do not use HPET MSI on such platforms.
Original problem report from Mark Hounschell
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0912.2/01118.html
[ This patch needs to go to stable as well. But, there are some
conflicts that prevents the patch from going as is. I can
rebase/resubmit to stable once the patch goes upstream.
hpa: still Cc:'ing stable@ as an FYI. ]

This was included in the 2.6.32.8 stable release and thereby also in the
newest Debian kernels (since version 2.6.32-8). You may want to get the
submitter to retest with the latest kernel from unstable.
