On a hint from Soeren Schmidt, we looked at the Promise ATA cables. The 1U box integrator had reversed the cable, controller-end to disk, and disk-end to controller. With great difficulty, due to the cable routing having the middle ATA connector falling right on a too-small feedthrough hole (could explain why the integrator reversed the cable in the first place. it's a "reversible" flat cable after all!!), we got the cable connected controller-end to controller, and disk-end to disk and dmesg now shows; ar0: 39083MB [4982/255/63] status: READY subdisks: 0 READY ad4: 39083MB [79408/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA133 ar1: 39083MB [4982/255/63] status: READY subdisks: 0 READY ad6: 39083MB [79408/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA133 Thanks Soeren!!
