My `cat /proc/pci` gives:
Bus 0, device 10, function 0:
Unknown mass storage controller: Promise Technology IDE UltraDMA/66 (rev 1).
Medium devsel. IRQ 10. Master Capable. Latency=64.
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd801].
I/O at 0xdc00 [0xdc01].
I/O at 0xe000 [0xe001].
I/O at 0xe400 [0xe401].
I/O at 0xe800 [0xe801].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xec000000 [0xec000000].
and my boot "append=" is "ide2=0xd800,0xdc02 ide3=0xe000,0xe402 "
If I were you I would try those numbers. There are five addresses and
only four of them are IDE channels
