I needed a 4-port SATA controller and this was was picked. It seems
to work OK, however I find that Linux (2.6.12.5 and .13-rc7) see
the disks in a different order than the labelled sockets (which do
match what the BIOS detection lists at bootup).
It is not even the reverse order:
TX4 socket sata_promise ata*
1 4
2 2
3 1
4 3
This order looks stable - I connected a different number of disks
on some ports and this ordering was maintained.
This is the 0x3d18 card.
I saw some mention on the list. Was this resolved as "cannot fix
driver" and introducing driver options to manually order the ports?
How can I ensure stable device names (/dev/sd*)?
