Steve,
sorry for the late response.
It seems that something else occupies interrupt 5 (Do a "cat
/proc/interrupts" to find out). Most of the time, the "culprit" is a
sound card configured at 0x220, irq 5. Compile sound as a module and be
sure the sound module is not loaded when you try to access your drive.
As a hint in a different direction: try EPP instead of ECP.
