Ben, You may be interested in the following: I replaced the Ubuntu 2.6.17-11 kernel, initrd and /lib/modules/2.6.17-11 with 2.6.15-27 equivalents from Mepis and now my missing secondary drives are back where they belong.
Whether or not there may be some latent inconsistencies between the Mepis kernel and the rest of the Ubuntu distro, I'll let you know. yeti -- ide secondary drives not recognized https://launchpad.net/bugs/85578 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
