Look for this support to be added to the kernel soon.
-*** IMPORTANT NOTICES (for kernel versions prior to 1.3.22)
-*** =================
-*** "CMD" EIDE Interfaces will not (by default) work *reliably* when drives
-*** are attached to the second interface. This is due to a flaw in the
-*** hardware. To "fix" this, supply the special kernel "command line"
-*** parameter to LILO or LOADLIN: ide1=serialize

-*** "CMD 640B" EIDE Interfaces will not work *reliably* when "hdparm -u1"
-*** (interrupt unmasking) is used. This is due to a flaw in the hardware,
-*** and is only a problem when "hdparm -u1" is used after booting.

-*** "RZ1000" EIDE Interfaces will also not work *reliably* when "hdparm -u1"
-*** (interrupt unmasking) is used. This is due to a flaw in the hardware,

-*** Failure to abide by these restrictions can cause severe data corruption!
