Drives not mountable with Maxtor SATA/150 (Promise) PCI Card and ATA100/133 drives

Fedora 2 Core test2

The drives connected to the standard ATA connector on the Maxtor SATA card
don't work within Fedora Core 2 test2. Since this card is new, I don't know if
it would have worked before. BIOS detects the drives.

I have a Maxtor SATA/150 card I got with my new 250GB ATA133 drive, and I want
to use it to put my two old hard drives on. It has 2 SATA connectors, and one
ATA 133 connector. I have two ATA drives connected to it on the ATA connector,
one is ATA100, and the other is ATA133. They are detected at boot. I can even
boot off them from the BIOS (but eventually I get a kernel panic). They are
listed in BIOS as something like SATA(IDE) -- there was more listed that I
can't remember. The 250GB ATA133 drive is hda and that's what Fedora is
installed on. The other two drives are on the card. They should be as
/dev/sda1, and /dev/sdb1 right?
