I have a K8V SE Deluxe MoBo with a Promise FastTrack 378 controller. It can be
used as a RAID or extended IDE controller by sellecting the proper BIOS setting.
I have tried the RAID setting and used ft3xx.o driver (from Promise) in FC1 2.4
kernels to use the two 160 GB IDE disks. I currently have it set to extended
IDE. I use the pdc-ultra.o driver (from Promise) in FC1 2.4 kernels for this
mode. I installed FC2 x86_64 version to another partition on the standard IDE
disk. It boots and works, except it will not see the PATA drives on the Promise
controller. It says there are no drives present. Does the SATA_Promise module
support this controller in either of these modes? Am I doing something wrong?
Is it because I am using IDE drives instead of SATA drivers?

As the name implies, sata_promise driver does not support PATA.
This support is planned, but not present yet.
