(LOL) .... I have the Promise Ultra-66..... since it's
not working, this is what prompted me to look for an

I have ported MontaVista HHL (Linux 2.4.2) to
a custom processor board, and have been
trying to run fdisk to setup a mountable root
drive.
Kernel is 2.4.2, with the Promise driver compiled in.
I boot up, and it finds the card, and sometimes hdb
is showing up in DMA mode ...

A good shot is always the Promise cards. I know at least the 66 used
to work, and I'm reasonably sure the 100 does. You'll need 2.4 for it
though, and no booting off it.

Anyone have any suggestions for a PCI IDE card to
use for PPC/Linux? Something one could buy down
at a Frye's would be great.
Many thanks in advance.

Have you tried the card in another PPC? Are you seeing any other
PCI related issues on your custom board?

That's odd. Do you have /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/anything?
I _think_ you shouldn't see a modprobe error if the ide-disk driver is
installed already, I think. But I'm not sure.

The Promise Ultra-66 is known to work on several ppc platforms in
hhl-2.4.2. Do you have the DMA options turned on in the kernel?
btw, if you are a MV customer contact support as this something we
support on the walnut and several other ppc platforms.

Yes we are using a board with the 20265 and 20262 in our Walnut.
Further we have the 20265 working on our custom board. Although the
custom board still has some flakes to work out...
