FC9 installation sees SATA drives but not PATA

[Stephen Soliday]

I would have expected the IDE to show up as /dev/sda
the RAID to be /dev/sdb & /dev/sdc and the data drive to be /dev/sdd.
or the IDE to show up as /dev/sdd.

The three SATA drives show up in the same order as listed below, but the IDE
drive does not show up at all (/dev/sda or /dev/sdd)
