Sorry, no treat there. :) It all runs just fine on the same hardware if I 
pull hda, rejumper hdb to be hda, and reboot to FC2 from that drive.  I've 
done that a couple of times today just to check.

The mobo has 2 serial ports, and they are both allocated to external 
hardware stuffs.  ttyS0 for monitoring my UPS, and ttyS1 for running all 
the X10 goodies.  Mobo is a biostar, 2nd generation with good caps, about 
3 years old now.
