Re: driver for Promise PDC20276

Hi Tim,

I've recently installed Suse 8.0 with pdcraid + ataraid, on a similar board
(7DXR+), previously using RedHat 7.2 with Promise drivers.

The Fastrack 2000TX drivers work fine (download from Promise), but limit you
to the older kernels.

However, with native ataraid, kernel 2.4.18 has dog slow disk access running
on that controller. Compiling 2.4.19-rc1 has sorted that out, although it seems
it's only on ATA33, not ATA133. Anyone know about fixing that, btw?

Hope that helps. Let me know if you need any help installing. It can get a bit
hairy...

Cheers.
Richard.
