Not much actually - perhaps I need to enable some debugging:

Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2

More EH occurs - I've left it for ~5 mins, but let me know if longer
would give more information, eg if it converges on a lower speed.

Would it be useful to compare some of the port setup registers in the
working and non-working cases? Or any other debug I can grab?
