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.
