Re: Promise 20269 (Rev 02) IDE controller

["Robert W. Fuller" <orangemagicbus@sbcglobal.net>]

I probably have the same card.  This works perfectly in my box and I do 
raw video capture with it (sustained 20+ MB/second.)  Thus, I suspect 
the problem is specific to your system.  Here's my lspci -vv:
