Sounds like a good plan Dow. I have seen problems in the past with running
PATA and SATA on the same board while trying to boot to the PATA. It is
strange in your case since you are using a raid controller instead of the
onboard SATA. It does sound like some sort of problem with the boot sequence
though.
     On some boards there is a SATA mode setting that is usually the
solution for this type of problem. Usually toggling this setting to enhanced
or legacy is helpful. It has been awhile since I troubleshot that problem
and it varies a little bit from board to board. Let us know what you find.
