Another helpful argument could be "hdb=none", which will tell Linux
not to probe, or even touch the second IDE device. Does this help?
I believe that the problem with the Matshita drive comes down to interrupt
differences, and because some IDE devices appear broken (you tell them to
disable their interrupt, so rather than forcing it to be inactive, it
goes permanently active). I would like at some point to prove this
theory with this drive though...
