Hi,
I just got a new Promise Ultra100 TX2
controller card that shares
the same IRQ (10) as my Adaptec 29160N SCSI
card.
(pls refer to my config.
below)
When I boot the LM 8.0 (download) install
CD, I get the following:
If I just press enter then the
install does not recognize the
Promise card and the HDs on it
are not found.
On mandrakeuser I found an
article on the Promise controller and
I tried to apply it to my
pbm.
I press <F1) to get more
options then enter on the command line:
linux
ide2=0xbff0,0xbfe6 ide3=0xbfa8,0xbfe2
the Promise gets recognized
but the loading of the aic7xxx module
fails, here are the
messages:
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xffa0-0xffa7,
Bios settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xffa8-0xffaf, Bios settings: hdc:DMA,

Please wait: Installing

Alt-F3 gives me the following:

failed
warning, insmod failed
(aic7xxx (null)) (1)
Basically, if the "linux ide2=...,
ide3=..." is not given then the
loading of the aic7xxx works fine, if I try
to get the Promise
recognized then the loading of the aic7xxx
fails....
Could that be because these 2 cards share
the same IRQ 10?
Right now, they share the same IRQ because
they occupy the 2 PCI
64bits/66MHz PCI slots:
Promise Ultra100 TX2 is PCI 32bits,
66MHz (although can do 33MHz)
Adaptec 29160N is PCI 64bits,
?MHz
Potentially I could try to put the Promise
into a PCI 33MHz slot
that does not use the IRQ 10 but I'd rather
be able to use it
at its full capabilities.
That was a bit long :) hope they're someone
out there who can
give me a few hints. I have ordered the
Powerpack to mandrakesoft
but it has not arrived yet, I have deleted
my 7.1 partitions and am
stuck with windows for the moment, so
please help me! :)
