Well this is what I'm thinking based on the apparent lack of any IDE goodness in the dmesg log. If that is the case: - any way of getting them back via a custom kernel or kernel command line prodding ? - If I boot an install disk in rescue mode, and that doesn't find them... well it would pretty much confirm the issue is due to lack of support for IDE/PATA rather than anything to do with labels/UUIDs etc. Will try this later. - I believe the PCI-X SATA card supports booting (the SATA drives can be selected for boot in the BIOS anyway, but I haven't actually tried it) so I suppose I always have the option of migrating the machine entirely to SATA.
