Add 'combined_mode=libata' to kernel parameter and see what happens. 
This should make libata take care of all ATA ports and your harddisks 
will appear as /dev/sda and sdb, your cdrom /dev/sr0.  So, you might 
need to adjust root= parameter too.

Thanks I have that working - I am now struggling with the disk being
slower than molasses ( high priority, 1.xx mb/sec  ) and the integrated
realtek ethernet
( low prioirty - since I got the wifi working ).

   


As Stephen Hemminger wrote, getting your realtek card working should
be a simple matter of either backporting the recent change that adds
its PCI ID or simply run a 2.6.19-rc5 kernel that includes it.

 


Thanks Jesper.
- I might do that - but I have to get the disk working the 1.xx mb/sec on
my core 2 duo t5600 is killing me.

I also want to thank everyone on this list for being so helpful.

This PCI ID was added to 2.6.19.  You should run 2.6.19-rc5 or backport the
