Saw this on the lkml. Looks like your issue. The patch looks pretty
clean so it should apply to 2.4.19. Of course if you aren't using
2.4.19>= it likely will not work.

Subject: [PATCH] 2.4.20-pre11 fix pdc20265 to off_board
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2002 11:59:45 -0400
From: "Bruce B. Lowekamp" <lowekamp@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch fixes the bug with auxilliary on-MB pdc20265 RAID
controllers erroneously receiving ide0 and ide1 that was introduced
with 2.4.19. This is a patch to 2.4.20-pre11 to change the PDC20265
from ON_BOARD to OFF_BOARD. It is needed for compatibility with
kernels prior to 2.4.19 and compatibility with 2.5.x kernels. If the
2.5 ide merge in 2.4.20-pre10-ac2 is incorporated into 2.4.20, it is
irrelevant.
There may be a very small number of motherboards that this patch
causes problems for. These MBs are, however, significantly fewer than
the number for whom the current ON_BOARD config causes major problems.
Among these is the ASUS A7v266-E and any other board with the 20265 on
the MB as a RAID controller and appearing first in the bus scanning
order. Without this patch, hda drives appear as hde because ide0 and
ide1 are swapped with ide2 and ide3.
For those MBs that this patch causes a problem for, using ide0=X and
ide1=Y is a sure cure for this problem. Identifying X and Y is,
unfortunately, almost impossible with the current kernel messages, and
for this reason I include a second patch that would make this task much
easier by printing the addresses the devices are located at as part of
the ide boot-up sequence.
