If you read the config help (the small help that will appear when doing
make xconfig or menuconfig) for the HPT366 item, it says (in the patch)
that the HPT366 driver is _not bootable_ (yet).
I didn't read the driver source but it may contain more info.
Now if you look at your MB's documentation, the HPT366 actually _is_
on ide2 and ide3 (ide0 and ide2 are only for up to UDMA/33, in the
Intel BX chipset itself). So if you want to boot the hard disk on
ide2 (/dev/hde) you probably have to specify it to the BIOS (by
using one of the options with "EXT", see your MB documentation).
Now I really don't know how/if this can work with Linux ...
Did you try to boot on the CD-ROM on hdb (just for install purpose)
by setting your Bios so that it will do it ?
