    I've got:

    0000:00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) Ultra
    ATA 100 Storage Controller (rev 02)
    0000:00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB (ICH5R) SATA
    (cc=RAID) (rev 02)

    I'm not sure if this is relevant but I've also got:
    kernel/drivers/ide/pci/piix

    Beyond that there isn't much more I can tell you; perhaps someone else
    can.

    Regards

    Clive
