I will check that sometime soon.
Are you sure you have an 80 ribbon cable (as opposed to a 40 ribbon one)? Is it one of those ultra-long cables?
I haven't checked it (it's only a new machine and until 2.4.18-14, all seemed OK), but i doubt it's a 40 ribbon cable. The drives are UATA133 - i was told that everything over UATA66 needed an 80 ribbon cable just to work.
