However, 2.6.18 does not properly load the IDE disks that are attached to an onboard raid-controller Promise PDC200378 (aka Fastrak 378 or Fastrak S150 TX4) which resides on an MSI 865PE-NEO FISR2 motherboard as a "south bridge" for a maximum of two IDE disks and two SATA disks. I configured the BIOS for two IDE disks and RAID1 or as SATA and no change. The errors from sata_promise seen in the dmesg file as error messages (attached): ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF8802200 ctl 0xF8802238 bmdma 0x0 irq 11 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF8802280 ctl 0xF88022B8 bmdma 0x0 irq 11 scsi2 : sata_promise ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) scsi3 : sata_promise ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) Please Cc: theo@verkstad.net in your reply as I am not subscribed to this list.
