That should be long enough.

I would put the floppy with the CD-ROM, though I don't think it would
make a difference here since you also tested it with the floppy
disconnected.

I assume that all devices have the jumpers set correctly and in
accordance with their position on the cable?  If in doubt, set them
all on "cable select" and take note that if a device is alone on a
channel, it should be at the end of the cable.

OK.  You might not believe this but I've actually had IRQ conflicts on
fairly recent Compaq ProLiant servers - ATA controllers seem to be
very uncomfortable with sharing IRQs.  Could you double-check that
your BIOS hasn't assigned IRQ 14 or 15 to any other devices?
