What drives have you got connected to your Promise ? On the Mandrake forum they seem to be saying that certain drives (esp. probably Maxtor) are causing the problem with Promise Ultra-100s (and Ultra-66s as in my case). My mobo is an FIC VA-503+ with an AMD K6/2-500 and 384Mb RAM
On the offfending Ultra100 I have: Primary master: IBM-DTLA-307030 - 30GB Secondary master: IBM-DTLA-307030 - 30GB And this controller has worked with 7.1, 7,2, 7.3 (with both the original kernel and 2.4.16) and 8.0 I am starting wondering if installing 8.1 (in safe mode) and then downgrade the kernel to 2.4.18 (8.0) could work (it should certainly solve the promise problem, but maybe there would be other issues.
