Brett, I've had the same problems using a promise VLB card. I read the IDE
docs that came with the kernels, and they mentioned that there was something
about the cmd640 chipsets which implied that they had a fault. Apparrently,
PCI boards using the cmd640 chipset are detected at boot and the appropriate
action is taken to prevent any problems, but with VLB cards you need to pass
a kernel parameter. The following is taken from the ide.txt file:
*** The CMD640 is also used on some Vesa Local Bus (VLB) cards, and is *NOT*
*** automatically detected by Linux. For safe, reliable operation with such
*** interfaces, one *MUST* use the "ide0=cmd640_vlb" kernel option.
I'm not sure what chipset your card uses, but perhaps give that a try and
see what happens, it has worked for me.
