Mandrake 8 & ATA100 support?

good question, I just ordered a maxtor ata100 card - didn't bother to check if it had linux drivers. I guess it's going up for sale if not.
 
I installed Mandrake 8, but couldn't boot from my Asus A7V133's onboard Promise ATA100 controller. Only from the maligned VIA native IDE 🙁 I'll look into this further. Perhaps the kernel should be recompiled with Promise support in the kernel? (instead of module)
 
I always compile anything to do with the bootup process into the kernel. Only thing I use modules for are drivers for non-system essential devices (modem, sound card, nic, drm module), and stuff that I almost never use (ppp, ipv6, etc.)
 
probably need to spec ide2,ide3 stuff to the kernel on boot. the initrd is a good way to use modules for some stuff instead of compiling in
