[ILUG] HPT372 IDE RAID

[Stephane Dudzinski]

Hello, even though Mandrake says they support HPT-370 controllers
straight from the install, i had to disable it and rollback to normal
uata 100 ide controllers. Lukily, i have SCSI CDroms so i wasn't
bothered wasting my IDE controllers with one drive on each set on
master.
