pata_via: slave disk invisible

Hi, I have a machine with VIA VT8235 IDE controller (single bus), so in 2.6.20 kernel, pata_via is used. But there's a problem with it. I have a hard drive as a master and CF card as a slave. It was OK before pata_via existed.. HDD was /dev/hda and CF was /dev/hdb. Now I can see only the hard drive, which is /dev/sda. CF is missing..
Here's a dmesg fragment:

libata version 2.00 loaded.
pata_via 0000:00:11.1: version 0.2.1

I'm sure my CF is not dead, I have just before tried booting damnsmalllinux and it's OK, /dev/hdb.
