While running 2.4.19-pre7-ac2 my system was happily buzzing away.
I upgraded to 2.4.19 and my /dev/hda became /dev/hde which caused
various boot problems, which I worked around.
It seems clear that upon booting 2.4.19, the newer kernel recognized
the "other" IDE controller on the MB, which 2.4.19-pre7-ac2 had not.
The manual that came with the MB said to use the IDE slots marked
IDE0 / IDE1 if I wasn't going to use RAID.
If I wanted to use RAID use the slots marked RAID0/RAID1.
I was just wondering how linux decides which controller is first
(hda-hdd) and which is second (hde-hdh).
Here is what I see from dmesg:

For now issue in your append line "ide=reverse".
This will get you by until it can be fixed.

Thanks, that worked.
An interesting note. While things were running backwards, that
is on /dev/hde the filesystem was very slow. An operation
that generally ran in about 5 seconds took about a minute.
A large filesystem backup, generally taking about 5 minutes,
took about 45 minutes.
As of reversing things back (/dev/hda) speed is back to normal.
The system only seemed slowed on disk access.
