Andre,
Is there any chance you will backport the Promise ATA/133
patch to the 2.2 kernel series? If not, is anyone you
know of working on a backport?
I've got a pair of 160GB Maxtors I'd like to get working
soon, perhaps without rolling the office forward to the 2.4
kernel... :) I guess my alternative to finding a 2.2 patch
somewhere is just using the first 137 GB of the drives, and
extending the partition and ext2 filesystem later when we
finally upgrade our kernels.

Does this patch support lba48 commands? For which ide adapters? (I read an
announcement from Intel that with a patch and a new driver their i8xx
chipsets could use lba48.
Specifically, I am interested in the Promise ATA100 cards since I own one.

If your Promise ATA100 card is PDC20265/PDC20267 then it should work
in patch ide.2.2.19.05042001.patch you can read
+ Promise Ultra100 or PDC20265/PDC20267
+
+ This requires CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO to be enabled.
+
+ Please read the comments at the top of drivers/block/pdc202xx.c
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+Special UDMA Feature
+PDC202XX_FORCE_BURST_BIT
+ For PDC20246 and PDC20262 Ultra DMA chipsets.
+ Designed originally for PDC20246/Ultra33 that has BIOS setup failures
+ when using 3 or more cards.
+
+ Please read the comments at the top of drivers/block/pdc202xx.c
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+Special Mode Feature (EXPERIMENTAL)
+PDC202XX_FORCE_MASTER_MODE
+ For PDC20246 and PDC20262 Ultra DMA chipsets.
+ This is reserved for possible Hardware RAID 0,1 for the FastTrak
Series.

Are you sure about the lba48 command support? I can see no mention of it
in the patch.

Maxtor is shipping the Promise 20269 with their 160GB drive.
There is no mention of lba48 support in the
ide.2.2.19.05042001.patch file.
