I don't know the A7VAX. At least for the A7V8X the built in IDE controller
chip is not supported by linux kernels prior to 2.4.21-pre3 or so.

This shouldn't be an issue today, but of course you could be right. Since
the problems with VDR happen mostly when two cards are in use, an IRQ
conflict could be the problem. I'm going to play with IRQs and may change
the slots of the cards (I've already done this for cooling purposes, but
that didn't help).
