Has anyone gotten the promise 100tx2 ide card to work?

I have problems with irqs when I turn larger mem support on in the kernel.

Using kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r8.

Thank you,

Well, I've gotten it to work...
Works fine with 4GB mem support for kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r8 smp,
after updating controller BIOS.
I enabled the 'Special UDMA feature' in my kernel config.
On kernel 2.6 it dosen't work (not even for -test11)

Here a link to the BIOS update site for this controller:

Hope that help's...

Best Regards
