Does anyone how to set it up so I can mount or > boot those drives? I purchased a new M/B with the on-board Promise ATA-100 controller last December. To get Linux working, I had to put the drive on one of the ATA-66 channels, install the system, compile a new kernel with support for the Promise controller, power down, move the drive back to the ATA-100 channel, and reboot. (In that order. :-) You may also find that you need to enable a kernel option that causes reverses the IDE search so your ATA-100 channels are scanned first. I don't remember the option off the top of my head, but it's well documented in the config help files. The result of all of this is that I have my HD at /dev/hda (ATA-100), my CD-ROM at /dev/hde, and my CD-RW at /dev/hdg (both ATA-33).
