Well this is what I'm thinking based on the apparent lack of any IDE
goodness in the dmesg log.  If that is the case:
 - any way of getting them back via a custom kernel or kernel command
line prodding ?
 - If I boot an install disk in rescue mode, and that doesn't find
them... well it would pretty much confirm the issue is due to lack of
support for IDE/PATA rather than anything to do with labels/UUIDs etc.
Will try this later.
 - I believe the PCI-X SATA card supports booting (the SATA drives can
be selected for boot in the BIOS anyway, but I haven't actually tried
it) so I suppose I always have the option of migrating the machine
entirely to SATA.

Thanks for the tips
