can't see drive on promise 20375 ATA card

[sean]

got a maxtor sata/i50 combo card today. It uses the promise 20375 chip 
with 2 SATA ports and one ATA port.

Using 2.6.6-rc3-bk8.

grep SATA .config
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SVW is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_PROMISE=y

Also:

# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_OLD is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_NEW is not set

should they be?

dmesg has:

libata version 1.02 loaded.
sata_promise version 0.92
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xE1863200 ctl 0xE1863238 bmdma 0x0 irq 19
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xE1863280 ctl 0xE18632B8 bmdma 0x0 irq 19
ata1: no device found (phy stat 00000000)
ata1: thread exiting
scsi0 : sata_promise
ata2: no device found (phy stat 00000000)
ata2: thread exiting
scsi1 : sata_promise


So it can see the SATA ports.

How do I get the kernel to see the ATA port on the card?

thanks

Also, on boot, the SATA card bios is loaded and sees the PATA drive.

Looking at the source - usually foolhardy at least for me, I find this 
at lines 1806-1808 of sata_promise.c:

               case board_2037x:
        		probe_ent->n_ports = 2;
		break;

Is the solution here as simple as changing two to three? Does this break 
somethng else?

Has anyone else got this board to work? It's been out over a year.

The driver does not support the PATA ports.

Do you think it is reasonable to include support for PATA ports in
your code?

It is very reasonable :)  I just haven't had the time to do it yet.
