This card use the sata chip pdc 40718 (as of my card)

the lastest sata_promise kernel with sata promise patch driver doesn't recognise

this card.

I added the following line to static struct pci_device_id pdc_ata_pci_tbl[] in sata_promise.c:

{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_PROMISE, 0x3d17, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0,
board_20319 },

and the card was recognised and seam to work without errors so far.

Yes, this should be fine (this is a 4-port SATA card right?)

Are you happy to produce and submit a patch yourself (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches) or should I submit one for you?

Thanks,
Daniel

Yes you are right it is a 4-port sata-II 300 card (PDC40718 ). According to
the promise feature list it should support :

SATA300™ TX4 Highlights

  * Native Command Queuing (NCQ)
  * SATA Tagged Command Queuing (TCQ)
  * Large LBA support for drives above 137GB
  * Supports Serial ATAPI devices
  * Disk Activity LED Headers
  * Flexible future-proof upgrade for users with motherboards that
    only have a PCI interface

My question is also are these features (NCQ/TCQ) and the heigher datarate be supported by this

modification? or is only the basic feature set of sata 150 TX4 supported?

Here is the patch:

I just saw the patches of  Luke Kosewski regarding the SATA150 TX4 antipating

them it might be right to modify the patch to
