Trying to get your configuration clear in my mind - the drives are 1TB
IDE, and they're attached to the m/b, or to the Hpt RAID card?

Also, did you update the system? New kernel? If so, is the RAID card
recognized (we've got a Hpt RocketRaid card in a CentOS 6 system, and
we're *finally* replacing it with an LSI (once it comes in), because Hpt
does not care about old cards, and I had to find the source code, and then
hack it to compile it for the new kernel, and have had to recompile for
the new kernels we've installed....
