Hey I wanted to mention that I just got this on a Fedora box (2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586) today. Yesterday I had to swap out the motherboard, AND I HAD TO CHANGE AN IDE CABLE. This never happened with the old motherboard and cable.
I will try to put in a new cable next week an will report back. I don't know what motherboard settings would be appropriate to change. DjznBR, try to put in a new cable and re-route it away from where-ever it's currently routed. I think you have a SATA cable, but the concept is the same.
