How do your drives jumpered on the ide cable? If they are drive select, change them to master/slave and check that the right module is talking to them.
Sometimes it happens. Sometimes I just hang one drive per controller and that problem is solved that way.
What does the dmesg output say about the ide controllers and the drives? How about the lsmod?
When you finally get it working, what does the lsmod say?
