Just remembered a few problems I once had with ide-controllers.
You didn't tell what your secondary ide looks like; these days it
is usually on the motherboard and pretty standard, so that's what
I assumed. But you may be working with a plug-in. If so, check
the addressing. The secondary should be 0x170 with irq 15. I've
had trouble with an older soundcard and an odd plug-in
controller, both refusing to work at anything like that
address/irq combination. In both cases I couldn't get Linux to
recognise the hardware. If you have an odd address you could try
passing it on the kernel command line, but I think I tried that
and failed.
Hope some of this helps...
