I would expect it to "just work." Most IDE stuff just works. I don't 
have one of those things, but I do have an Abit Hotrod 66 which required 
a 2.3 kernel when 2.2 was current, but since then does just work. Like 
yours, it has a Highpoint chipset.

Without some diagnostic info, folk are going to be hard-pressed to help.
