siimage and drive order problem

[Daniel Brahneborg <daniel.com@wtnord.net>]

Greetings,

I have an Abit KV7 motherboard with an Serial-ATA PCI
card with a si3112 chipset.  The motherboard has two
additional serial-ata slots on a VIA chip, and a normal
IDE disk on ide0.

My problem is that when I boot with siimage.c enabled
or try to insert it as a module after booting, it forces
the drives on that card to become hda and hdb, messing
things up pretty badly.  How can I force that driver to
use hde/hdf/... instead?  Without it the drives aren't
usable at all.

I want a setup where hda-hdd lives on the old ATA bus
and the two Serial-ATA cards comes afterwards.  Is that
possible?

I've searched through all documentation I can find, but
everybody seems to want to have the S-ATA drives as hda,
hdb etc.

Many thanks,
