hey everyone. finnally i'm stuck again.
i've tried promise support, i've searched google, and i've checked all the post i could find about this problem, but nothing helped.
my hdd setup:
------------------
Segate 160GB 7200rpm SATA UDMA6 (on promise)
IBM 40GB 5400rpm PATA UDMA5 (on promise)
enabled in 2.6.7-rc3-mm2 (only hdd related):
--------------------------------------------------------

grub.conf:

if i boot this kernel, i'll get the following output:

i've already tried to disable the VIA82CXXX support, but it didn't change a thing.
the other problem is, if i try to boot my second hard drive (which got winxp installed), it will show me the grub lines, and then the system hangs. my pata drive makes some strange noise, as if it tries to access something, but can't. this will go on for some time.
if i plug the pata drive into my mainboard, it's the same behavoir with grub, if i try to start the windows installation, but when i try to boot into linux, the kernel will spit out something about a lost irq forever, and won't get any further.
i know that the pata drive works, because i gave it a friend of mine to test.

I am not certain about what you are trying to do.
The Promise TX2+ supports a single IDE device on its parallel (non-SATA) interface, as long as that device is set to <b>"slave"</b>.
But I cannot figure out how to access this device from Linux...
EDIT:
I saw This forum which drove me to This libsata status report which says
| Quote: |
Some boards appear to have PATA as well as SATA ports. PATA
is not currently supported, and no plans have yet been made to rectify
this. Ideally drivers/ide would drive PATA, but if they are the same
PCI device, that would not be feasible.
