That's an excellent suggestion, but I don't think it will actually
help me. The drives aren't invisible to the disk-based boot loader, it
just fails at the initrd stage. The drives are invisible to Lindows
Live, but if I turn off the first ide, then the CD will be dead, so I
won't be able to use Lindows Live in order to sense the disk which
would then be at hda.
It's clever, but I'm either missing something even cleverer, or I
think it won't solve my problem...
Thanks for the response!

Just so that you know - you have 2 IDE controllers. The non-promise one
is hda,hdb,hdc and hdd - and your promise one hde,hdf,hdg,hdh - primary
secondary accordingly. Disabling the other IDE controller would in
theory cause the promise controller to be seen as hda,hdb etc..
