hdparm only deals with HARD DRIVES being unregistered. NOT a bus.
Really the only way for you to not see ide1 (as most machines have 2
channels) is to append a boot argument to your kernel. Or if the modules
to drive your IDE controller accepts arguments, disabling it that way
in /etc/modules
a line similar to this: (note I just picked a module, and am speculating
here)
sis5513 ide1=ignore (or off, or disable(d))
I can't say this will work, but it is grabbing at straws. Heck it might
not even be "ide1=" might be a hex number or something too.
The question begging to be asked:
Why do you care if IDE1 is recognized and registered?
After that answer to the question we might be able to help you out
further.
