Interesting.  I narrowed down the problem to somewhere between August
4 and August 19 (if you want to call that narrowing down), but these
commits occurred on August 22.

I noticed the same thing.  At first, I believe only the secondary
(ata1) IDE channel was recognized.  Now both are recognized,
regardless of the BIOS settings.

You should be able to move both of them in the system setup.  You'll
have to use the "lock down" feature after changing settings to keep
other devices from using IRQ 15.
