I have finally managed to make it work, using exactly this configuration: IDE drive master + CD-ROM slave on primary controller, EIDE drive on secondary. I had already tried this arrangement before, but rejected it because the computer wouldn't boot at all (wouldn't even read the hard disk). That was fixed for some reason when I removed the EIDE disk entry from CMOS. Anyway, it works fine now, and all I have to do is compile a new kernel to use the CD-ROM, as the generic one does not support it.
