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.
sata_promise driver just presents the devices in the order that the
board maker has wired each port to the chip. What may be labelled "port
3" on the board might be wired to the chip's port-0. sata_promise just
presents what it is given.
