Hmmm, not sure atm. It's a VIA board, the main drive is plugged in the
the main IDE. The second drive is plugged into the raid controller
(which is also on the motherboard). None of the drives are SATA, all
are PATA. The raid controller is in straight IDE mode (no raid).

I'm at uni atm so when i get home i'll check the .config again. AFAI
can remember, i have got both the Promise controller (SATA) and the
VIA controllers compiled in to the kernel. When I get around to it
I'll be replacing the hard drives with SATA drives, that /should/
help.
