I have found mixing hd's & cd'd on the same IDE controller to cause
issues. I have even had issues with the position of the drives on the
ribbon cable, depending on the UDMA number of the device. I would start
with hd's on one cable & cd/dvd's on the other. Make sure your chipset
is supported by kernel. This may be old info as I have been running
scsi mostly.
