The driver from Promise is Beta and only for kernel 2.2.5-15
To quote the readme itself
"ultra66.c was written to work only with Red hat Linux 6.0 kernel version
2.2.5-15. It will not work with the newer kernels. If you choose to
compile under a different version (NOT RECCOMMENDED), delete ultra66.o
and run make. Be sure you have installed the development packages."
