No promise 378 does 2 HD types : PATA ( ide ) and SATA.

I've got 2 hards drives IDE ...

here is the dmesg message :

EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
libata version 1.10 loaded.
sata_promise version 1.01
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF8806200 ctl 0xF8806238 bmdma 0x0 irq 177
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF8806280 ctl 0xF88062B8 bmdma 0x0 irq 177
ata1: no device found (phy stat 00000000)
scsi0 : sata_promise
ata2: no device found (phy stat 00000000)
scsi1 : sata_promise

in fact linux doesn't detect the hard drive ... even they are detected
in the bios promise card ...

I'm totally lost by this problem ... :(

i thin to rebuild the driver whill be the best idea ...

no ?
