Yes, it's possible, but booting from the ATA66 controller can be
tricky. I'm not booting from the ATA66 controller (I boot SCSI).

You'll want to install the IDE patches that are available from:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/
Checkout the Howto:
http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~b6506063/hpt366/
It's not bad at all, if you're used to rolling your own kernel.
You'll also want to throw this into your /etc/lilo.conf:
append="apm=smp-power-off"
That will allow you to have the machines power themselves down when you do
a halt.
