No.
the problem for me is that I have Abit BE6 (or something like that)
motherboard which is equiped with _4_ (NOT 2) IDE slots. that mean I have 2
slotsnormal IDE and two next connected to ULTRA ATA 66 controler which
support of course other disks and CDROM`s but linux do not recognise it.
so, when I try to install on disk connected on this IDE (ide2 or ide3)
installer on linux do not recognize any hdd.
Then I must to reconnect it on standard IDE.
Question is:
is it possible in minimum to boot the ready instalation from this ATA/66
controller?

I got a SiS 620 which support ATA66: it all works fine!
In fact, ATA66 is just a new feature added, the rest of the HD
controller is fully compatible with standard and ATA33 controllers.
So, should there be a driver included in the kernel for your controller,
be happy you'll get faster HD access. On the contrary, just use the
standard driver and it should work fine.
Good luck
