I don't think so:

It is probed first:

But does not result in any ide bus because there's no disk hanged...
And then comes the VIA:

.. that gives ide0 -> hda, instead of ide2->hde.

Good time to try lilo+fstab+labels...

Do you know if fsck will work with labels in /etc/fstab ?
Because obviously udev does not create hdeX...
A real mess.
