I've got one controller successfully working, but as soon as I stick the second controller in the computer, the system refuses to boot. With 2.2.18 and the linux-ide patches (Uniform E-IDE 6.30), the computer refuses to boot if there are no bootable drives on the motherboard's IDE controllers. I have 4 hard drives on the promise ultra66, and a cdrom drive on the motherboard's controller. I've tried setting the BIOS IDE/SCSI first option to SCSI, and it still doesn't work. I moved my boot drive to the motherboard's controller, and then linux boots, but after detecting IDE devices, it hangs just after printing: ide1 at ... ide2 at ... ide3 at ... I don't have the exact messages at hand, but can produce them... Any ideas? Can this work? I've read on the Promise site that flashing the second controller with their "dummy" BIOS may make a difference, but I'm not sure. -- Adrian Chung - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
