I have a hacked Ultra100 made to function like a
Fastrack100. I followed the steps on www.braziliantech.com. Basically,
what Daniel, the webmaster for that site, did was to take a fasttrack bios, then
change every occurrence of Device ID DEV_4D30
(FastTrak), and replace it with DEV_0D30 (Ultra100). Then he took every
occurrence of SubSystem ID SUBSYS_4D39105A and changed it to SUBSYS_4D33105A.

All I had to do was flash the bios, then download his special windows drivers in
order to get it to work. What would I have to do to the linux drivers to
get linux installed on this hacked array? To modify the windows drivers,
he changed a "104h - RAID Controller" to a "180h - PCI Mass Storage Controller".

He created linux drivers, based off the Promise ones, which do not validate the
device class. However, these drivers do not seem to work. I cannot
install RH7 or 7.1 using this driver disk. http://www.braziliantech.com/Promise/ftrhup_120b9_A7VRAID.zip .
What would I need to do to get these drivers to work, or create new drivers for
the hacked chip. The chip is a Promise Ultra100 on an Asus A7V
motherboard. Thanks.
