I have had a similar problem on box of mine trying to get DMA working on my DVD player. The solution was to change the order of the modules in the initrd.

On my box (which is CentOS-4 with Custom FC4 kernel) I put this in /etc/modprobe.conf alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix

and then rebuilt initrd with mkinitrd.

and added ide1=noprobe to the kernel in grub.conf

That might help.

Thanks John, I ended up doign something similar. On install, I just tell my PXE server to pass ide0=noprobe and ide1=noprobe to the kernel. This allows ata_piix to find the drives correctly.

Will see if I continue to have to pass those options even after install.
