PATA Port on PDC20378 (FastTrak 378/SATA 378) (rev 02) Asus K8V Deluxe

I have an Asus K8V Mainboard, the promise sata controller has a PATA
port in addition to the two SATA channels and the HDD I have connected
is detected by the controller as displayed on boot. The sata_promise
driver as of stock 2.6.10 seems to only probe the two sata ports. Is
this meant to also handle the pata port or is a separate driver/patch
needed? I've searched the list and not found anything appropriate.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Support for the PATA port exists in the libata-dev-2.6 queue.

Current patch:
