( 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 ) uname -a Linux tlacicero.artemide.us 2.6.11.12 #1 SMP Fri Oct 7 16:34:30 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux lspci -v -v 02:04.0 RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc.
