Is it possible to install them backwards and have the drives still work ? This is the relevant output from my dmesg : atapci0: port 0xffa0-0xffaf at device 7.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 ata0-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable ad0: 39266MB [79780/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 ad2: 19541MB [39703/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA66 acd0: CDROM at ata0-slave using PIO4 acd1: CD-RW at ata1-slave using PIO4 As you can see, the second drive is working ok, but there's a nasty hang after atapci0 is detected and the drive is still at UDMA33, so I've obviously done something wrong.
