For a SATA 300 TX4 you should test version 2.07 of sata_promise.c.
You can get it in 2.6.21-git16, or 2.6.21-mm2 plus the following
two patches:

http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/2.6/patch-sata_promise-1-error_intr-abort_port-2.6.21-mm2
http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/2.6/patch-sata_promise-2-sataii-tx4-port-numbering-fix-2.6.21-mm2

or 2.6.21 plus the following three patches:

http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/2.6/patch-sata_promise-1-separate-sata-pata-ops-2.6.21
http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/2.6/patch-sata_promise-2-error_intr-2.6.21
http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/2.6/patch-sata_promise-3-sataii-tx4-port-numbering-fix-2.6.21

Note that this corrects the longstanding mis-enumeration
of ports on SATAII TX4 cards, so you may need to adjust
your /etc/fstab and boot-time root= parameter if you're
using hard-coded partition names.

Hi,

I would like to help by testing the most recent version of the 
sata_promise driver on my

Promise Technology, Inc. PDC40718 (SATA 300 TX4) (rev 02)

with 4 Seagate 500GB ES drives:
         Model Number:       ST3500630NS
         Firmware Revision:  3.AEE
         (with 1.5/3.0Gbps jumper removed = 3.0Gbps)

This setup experienced a problem a while ago which was fixed using 
2.6.21-rc2 + Mikael Petterssons "force 1.5Gbps patch".

Could someone provide a hint on what sources/patches I should get?

E.g. vanilla 2.6.21.1 + ?

Thanks for listening.

Best regards,

Peter
