'bout the only thing i can say about which ide controller is used is that it
is built into the motherboard in a hp vectra vl.
and the driver version is one thing i did notice: redhat 7.1 has an ide
driver version 1.10 whereas debian with 2.2.12 has an ide driver version of
1.08. i am inclinded to believe the difference lies there.
