hde: no esponse (status = 0xfe)

When I boot by Fedora Core-1 machine the system has always hung for a number of seconds during the process:
hde: no response (status = 0xfe)
hdg: no response (status = 0xfe)

I Googled these messages and it sounds like a SATA issue with my Abit NF7-S. I'm not using the SATA, only PATA for two hard drives along with a CDrom burner. Anyway, I Googled and found the following recommendation to solve this:

>> Add the following parameter to your kernel line in lilo/grub:
>> hdg=none
>> and it'll happily ignore hdg on startup. :)

I tried putting this line into my /boot/grub/grub.conf file but it didn't help. I thought maybe I'm putting it in the wrong place. Here's a copy of my grub.conf file......where should I place hdg=none and hde=none? Or is there something else I should be doing?
