IDE configuration trouble

Hi all

I apologize if this is OT, but I've tried looking around, and still can't find
an answer, so here it goes.

I'm trying to set up a computer with the following configuration:

16 IBM 120GB IDE drives:
        On-board VIA controller with 4 drives
        Two promise ATA100 controllers with 4 drives each
        One CMD649U controller with 4 drives

Problem seems to be that the motherboard has addressed them on the PCI bus as
follows:

Promise (1) 0.0c.00 (ide[01])
Promise (2) 0.0d.00 (ide[23])
CMD649U 0.0f.00 (ide[45])
VIA 0.10.1 (ide[67])

This gives me the VIA controller, which that motherboard wants to boot from,
as the last controllers, which messes up all installers I've tried (though
that's only Redhat and SuSE).

How can I force PCI 0.10.1 to be ide[01]?

Thanks all

Please cc: to me as I'm not on the list
