I've just checked this thread in the archives because I don't have the start 
of it.

I don't see what hardware you're using.

On another box I have hda a 120 GBA ATA drive, hdb a DVD burner and on the 
second controller I have a disk caddy which atm has a 120 Gb drive in it.

All drives are jumpered master-slave.

I also have provision for another four drives with a hotrod66; atm there is 
nothing connected.

The box is running Debian/Sarge - alternately 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.

I've had no problems using drives in any combination with any kernel.

The mobo is a cheap Gigabyte with a SiS chipset, GA-7S748-L.
