I had a production server with five IDE channels: one in Intel server motherboard, four in two different Promise non-raid cards. The only trick was to set the correct order of channels: bootable hda was on first Promise, cdrom "hdi" was on slow non-UDMA motherboard channel. Debian Woody, kernel 2.4. Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact recipe :-) Just now our corporate fileserver has 8 SATA channels: two in Intel chipset, two in built-in Promise FastTrak, four in Promise PCI card. Each of two RAID-1 mirrored pairs use one channel from motherboard FastTrak and one from card, for better (I hope) load balance and reliability. System resides on conventional hda, and idle hdc contains warm copy of system for fast recovery.
