Funny, I'm using Promise Ultra100 TX2 in PWS and it works just fine. No errors
at all, maybe that there is only one disk (maxtor 80gb) attached to it. Do I
have mention that onboard CMD IDE had problems all the time with big disks.

And fs is EXT3, had errors 3-4 months ago and disks were screwed totally, had to
recreate fs for those, all work lost. But I think those came up when I runned
Debian/unstable, now using stable (because I want programs to work fine when
doing something ;) )

Also somebody said that Adaptec 2940 doesn't work properly in Alpha, I don't
agree that. I have to adaptec 2940, U2W and AU, both work fine.
