ide problems (kt400), left hand mouse, dvorak

[Ville Vainio]

Hi,

Just made a clean install of ubuntu after runnung Sarge/2.6.7 kernel for 
a while. I have the follwing problems, starting with the easiest ones to 
explain:

I wasn't given a choice of Dvorak keyboard in installation (unlike 
debian-installer did w/ sarge). Had to type login info in qwerty, not 
comfortable and had to pick a crappy password.

Left-handed mouse doesn't work. If I switch to left-handed mouse, I 
still need to open the menus with LMB, but releasing the button over the 
menu item doesn't work, I have to click RMB over the item (i.e. I need 
to hold down both buttons). Using right hand mouse with left hand for now.

And now, the biggest problem: I can't see my PATA drive (hda). I boot 
from PATA kinda ok (/boot is /dev/hda1), with the root system on SATA. 
Interestingly, SATA is now sda, it was hde on Sarge.

Here's some interesting snippets from dmesg:

..

<end dmesg>

The problem seems to be in the end - something claims ide0 and ide1 
instead of VP_IDE. I have ABIT KD7-S motherboard with SiI sata 
controller and 2 normal PATA channels. The problem might be in the 2.6.8 
kernel - I was running 2.6.7 in sarge, because 2.6.8 didn't boot at all.
