So I'm a bit disappointed. I finally installed 9.0 on my monster box (nforce
board, athlon 2000) expecting that, as reported by various mandrake users,
that the Highpoint HPT 372 controller would be detected and I could use it
as an extra IDE controller. Alas, HardDrake doesn't appear to have a clue
that it's there.
Anyone know if there's something I can do that gives it a nudge in the right
direction?

Alan Cox's ide patches have just now been added to the cooker kernel.
They provide support for this controller and I am using this kernel with
2 drives on my Iwill XP333-R as jbod on that onboard controller. You
could also build a kernel and the "opensource" driver from Highpoint's
website. I have done that, as well, but it is not really an open source
driver as building the driver requires a binary library and using the
newer kernel is just simpler. Hopefully, those patches will be kept.
Currently, the kernel is 2.4.21pre3-3mdk.
