I sent the related dmesg lines, and my .config. for dmesg and .config : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111179215521092&w=2
what part of lspci would you need ?
hdparm :
flash@evenflow:~$ sudo hdparm -i /dev/hda
/dev/hda:

(it shows no mode... it's strange, because this drive should be nearly the same as the following)
flash@evenflow:~$ sudo hdparm -i /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:

flash@evenflow:~$ sudo hdparm -d /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc: using_dma = 0 (off)
(Note : hdparm -i says 'udma6', and hdparm -d says 'no dma'... Strange, isn't it ?)

I'll try that...

I succesfully used these drives with another motherboard (PIIX4) before, in udma2 mode, for years...
But first thing : I have to check if the cables are correctly plugged in (I mean in the correct order)... I didn't have the time to do that yet.
