Ok, I when off and bought the Promise Ultra66. How do I get it to work? In something I downloaded from Promise, it says that there is already support for it in the 2.2.10 kernel and above. I am using 2.2.14. I am using it as a second IDE control, anyone know how I get it working? -- Sam Carleton ------------ http://www.bigfoot.com/~scarleton (Homepage) http://www.uptimes.net/hostinfo.html?hid=1218 (Linux Box) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Get Andre Hedrick's IDE patch ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/kernel.org/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/ide.2.2.14.20000124.patch.bz2 and patch your kernel sources. Then select [*] Generic PCI IDE chipset support [*] Generic PCI bus-master DMA support [*] Use DMA by default when available [*] PROMISE PDC20246/PDC20262 support in the kernel configuration, compile and install your new kernel and upon reboot the devices attaced to your new controller should show up as hde, hdf, hdg and hdh. If you're particularly brave you can then tune some settings with hdparm.
