I have an onboard PDC20378 (FastTrak 378/SATA 378) set in IDE RAID mode. ( I have tried it in IDE non RAID as well ) and although linux finds the controller an loads the sata_promise driver for it, there are no devices detected attached to the card.
Asus P4P800 Deluxe, 2GB,P43.0E
Booting off an SATA drive, a CD and a DVDR drive on the secondary IDE. The IDE ports are set in compatibility mode, secondary PATA + SATA
I have to IDE drives on the promise controller and the promise BIOS sees both drives and created a RAID0
I am running a 2.6.11.12 kernel due to a win4lin SMP issue, but from what I read the problem with this card was already fixed before 2.6.11.x
below is some useful information .. let me know if I forgot something...any thoughts would be helpful..if upgrading to a newer kernel is the only option then fine, but I am hoping to find a workaround, I am having trouble with newer kernels ( upgrade issues from FC3 to FC4 )
