I tried 2.6.15.6-libata1.patch and was able to succesfully use a PATA drive from my Promise 20378 card! Thanks for the hard work. It works great for the most part. One big question/problem I had: The kernel raid autodetection doesn't work here. Though I'm not clear if it supports going across controllers. I set up a raid-1 array wtih a drive on my other controller, set the partition type to autodetect, but a reboot left my array with just the drive not on the promise card. Should this work? Am I missing something? Also - is there an effort to get this merged into mainline? Note that my box has a 82801EB/ER controller which is currently my primarycontoller as well as the Promise PDC20378 which is what I'm using this patch for. As a side note: Currently my BIOS's ATA settings are "SATA mode" - I also have "PATA mode" "SATA+PATA mode". I tried SATA+PATA and I get a bunch of IRQ16 ignored messages, a few tracebacks, and a LOT of slowness. I also get 3 scsi controller devices. I haven't tried the PATA mode.
