Promise does support the Linux community. Linux ATA/100 support was
announced on /. just after 7.1 was released or at least just around the
same time. This means that the Mandrake folks probably didn't get a
chance to incorporate it into the stock 7.1 distro. Try installing mdk
7.1 on a lesser controllor (ultra33/66) and then try out the 2.2.16
kernel. If that doesn't work try to patch a virgin kernel source with
the ATA/100 patch for the 2.2.15 kernel or wait for 7.2.
