While I was using Highpoint 1540's with an autodetected raid 5 on these with the boot drive on hda,
I had to use ide=reverse to make the machine boot from the "correct" drive. Changing the 1540's out
for Promise SATA 150 TX4 controllers made this problem go away.
I never really investigated it any further
