I've determined that Linux can use a hard drive that's on a Promise Ultra100.
here's the link I read
So I say linux ide2=0x####,0x#### to specify the I/O ranges for the first channel on the Promise. Or I could do it for ide3 with the appropriate numbers. Can you specify both? I have two hard drives in there....my main one has all the important stuff on it, but my 2nd one has Mp3s and stuff like that.
I would have thought it was just
linux ide2=0x####,0x#### ide3=0x####,0x####
But that didn't seem to work...I could see my main drive, but not my secondary (in the partitioning tool in mandrake setup). I only have Mandrake 7.0 not 7.2, is that a problem?
Pardon my Linux newbieishness but all I've used is Solaris workstations with SCSI disk, or I had linux on my PC once before I had the promise.
