I've got 2 sata drives on raid 0 using the onboard sata controller of my Abit.
And on the two IDE spare controllers I've got 2 dvd-rw drives.
Recently I boght dvd-rom and I also boght a IDE RAID Controller from Silicon Image 0680, só that I didnt have to share the same channel and loose speed.

The problem is that Abit insists in booting from de pci ide raid card (where I have the dvd-rom connected) when I want to boot from the sata raid where I have my operating system.

In abit bios there is a option to select the booting order but this only apear only in sata ide mode where I can choose Sata 1 - SAta 2 - Add in card or change the order. But in RAID mode I can only see Add in card.

I'm getting mad with this have been trying to boot from my sata with the ide controller on for at leaste 7hours.
