I should have mentioned that they have sata to pata bridgeboards on the drives.
That shouldn't change much.
I tried rebooting, with discs in and not in the drives. I can send you a physical bridgeboard, or drive if it helps you... the samsung hard drive is on the motherboard sata controller. the dvd drives are on pmp on the sata_sil24 board
I have plenty of SATA and PMP hardware these days, so thanks but that wouldn't be necessary.

Is the first port occupied? 3726 seems to fail initialization if the first port is not occupied. At the moment, I'm not very sure whether the hardware or the driver is responsible for this. When this happens, all other ports fail too which is consistent with your result.

Ah... So your ATAPI device is connected to the first port. Can you swap the two and see what happens? Does the same setup work okay on windows?
