Hi,

I'm looking at buying a Promise Ultra66 (ATA/66) card for my new Linux
box. I can find references to the older Ultra33 (ATA/33) model working
with the new kernel, but can't find anything definite about the new
Ultra66. Does anyone know if/how to get this card to work? If it doesn't
work yet, I assume it will work in ATA/33 mode until new drivers are
released? Thanks for the help.

I have this card installed on my machine and I can't get the RH installation
to recognize it.  I understand that there are some boot parameters you can
pass to the kernel during installation, but I could not get them to work for
me.

I have the same problem with the same card. I'm trying to install Suse
6.0 with the help of the information I foud in the UDMA HOWTO. You
need to enter some commands on the lilo prompt to get the trick done,
but it looks like the Suse setup doesn't use Lilo. After setting the
screen, keybord and language, it starts Yast, and that prgram doesn't
recoginse the disk.....

stuck.....

help....

Keep me informed if you find a way out, i will do also.
