Maybe set the new dual controller to be IDE 2,3 and have the SB32 as IDE4. Also, you can check /proc/ioports and /proc/interrupts to see if there actually are conflicts with the port ranges or interrupts of your card. I'm guessing not, because it worked before, but you never know. IDE cards actually have 2 port ranges, so it may be that with the new card you are getting conflicts. My system shows: 0170-0177 : ide1 01e8-01ef : ide2 01f0-01f7 : ide0 0376-0376 : ide1 03ee-03ee : ide2 03f6-03f6 : ide0 The second ide2 port is in the same place as ttyS2 (com3)...
