Re: Promise TX4 100: neither IDE port enabled

After many different kernels, here are my experiences so far:

The original red hat 9.0 2.4.20 kernel correctly identifies the drives on
the promise as UDMA(100).

The 2.4.21-pre7, 2.4.21-pre6, 2.4.21-pre5-ac3 do not detect the promise
correctly giving the following error:

ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override
with idebus=xx
PIIX4: IDE controller at PCI slot 00:04.1
PIIX4: chipset revision 1
PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd800-0xd807, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xd808-0xd80f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
PDC20270: IDE controller at PCI slot 02:01.0
PDC20270: chipset revision 2
PDC20270: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
PDC20270: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS)
PDC20270: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS)

We compiled a version of 2.4.20 without modules but then it would detect all
the drives on the promise as UDMA(33)

Does anybody have know if the problem is in the kernel version or settings?

Yours sincerely, Jonathan Vardy
