Re: Promise Ultra ATA 66 controller problems!!



I'v had bad luck with these controllers even under Win 98 SE... The drive will run fine off the on board IDE port, it will drop back to the 33 Megabit transfer rate. In short, Yank the card and replace the ATA66 cable with a standard IDE cable and plug it into the standard IDE port on board. Return and get your money back on the Promise card.

I have a new gateway system with this promise ultra 66 controller, i got the redhat both 6.0 and 6.1and both don't support them. i got the beta drivers for RH6.0 from the promise site but they don't work either. now i'm stuck  and cannot install linux on my computer. if anyone has any idea on how to make this work or anyone knows where i can get a better patch or something especially for redhat 6.1 would be very helpful. thankx!
