Are they. perchance, attached to the *second* connector on your IDE
system?

MNost EIDE adapters (and MBs) have two connectors and can support 4
devices. But linux will not simply assign hda to the first available
device, etc; hda is the first device on the first chain, etc.

Just a thought. I believe you could change this with boot parameters.
