IDE not fully found (2.4.0)

IDE not fully found (2.4.0)

[Tim Hockin]

Just built a new system with Linux-2.4.0.

Motherboard (MSI 694D-AR) has Via Apollo Pro chipset, those IDE drives seem
fine.  Board also has a promise PDC20265  RAID/ATA100 controller.  On each
channel of this controller I have an IBM 45 GB ATA100 drive as master.
(hde and hdg?).  BIOS sees these drives fine.  Linux only see hde and never
hdg (ide[012] but not ide3).  I thought I'd post it here, in case anyone
else knew the answer right away.  

Second question:  Does the RAID functionality of this device work under
linux?  If so, is it better than LVM or MD?

boot snippet:
---------------
VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
VP_IDE: chipset revision 16
VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
VP_IDE: VIA vt82c686a IDE UDMA66 controller on pci0:7.1
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xc000-0xc007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xc008-0xc00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio
PDC20265: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 60
PDC20265: chipset revision 2
PDC20265: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
PDC20265: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary MASTER Mode Secondary MASTER
Mode.
    ide2: BM-DMA at 0xdc00-0xdc07, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
