I've not touched the southbridge code that set's up the ide in CVS yet, so it
should be as it was before the big code cleanup. I'm working on seperating it
out in my private copy, so I'm not sure what's happening here.

It sound's like the vt8231_init routine in vt8231.c is either not running, or
that enable_native_ide is set to 1 somewhere, check the latter first.
