I am running linux kernel 2.4.22-26mdk and it supports PATA right out of the box, on a Promise TX2-plus controller. I have one disk on the PATA port (and one disk on one of the SATA ports). I would probably like to run kernel 2.6, mostly because I think of implementing some striping RAID-1 on it and try that new module out, but if kernel 2.6 does not support PATA on the TX2-plus then I am at a loss. best regards Keld - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
