I'm assuming that the onboard four-port Promise controller is also connected to the PCI bus. In which case, it might be possible to get it detected after the on-board one by changing which PCI slot the two port card is in. In any case, I shouldn't worry about it too much. The device names aren't particularly user-visible. Have you manually specified any kernel parameters? Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | "This thing is bigger than the both of us!" @westexe.demon.co.uk | "Oh Tom! It's ... it's an elephant!"
