I'm wondering if this other controller card, that you installed is causing the problems (Just a hunch..) Normally when you have a standard setup you wind up with up to 4 ide drives that Linux has to track primary ide becomes hda, the slave hdb
secondary ide becomes hdc, the slave hdd. You've added I guess another ide controller to the crowd. Depending upon how it is configured, it could possibly be adding to the grief. If I'm following this right... we would kind of hope that this drive became /dev/hde Personally I haven't had the best of luck with extra controllers in a box (your mileage may vary...) Some extra controllers have 'extra' BIOS chips onboard. This was done a lot when larger drives were produced and people had motherboards with older bioses that could not utilize them. Quite often a card was available that not only corrected this problem for the drive hooked to it, but also for the rest of the controllers in the box.... (This is just an avenue that may have to be explored....) Is this third party controller card supported by Linux?
