I should probably include some details about my IDE devices.
here's the controller for the devices in question. it's the second
controller on the mobo. (first controller is only ATA-66)
00:11.0 Unknown mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. 20265 (rev
02)

and here's the output of hdparm. (yes, I know it could probably get tweaked
a bit for performance. this is a brand-new drive arrangement, and I was
trying to run it in a 'safe' setting for a while to see if anything would go
wrong. well, it did).
~# hdparm /dev/hde
/dev/hde:
multcount = 0 (off)
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
