Linux does not run on my new motherboard :(

["Ian Tan" <hectoro@linuxmail.org>]

I have recently purchased an ASUS A7V motherboard (socket A) with built-in "Promise ATA/100 IDE controller", and so I happily bought a new 30Gb Quantum ATA/100 hard disk. :)

However, Potato doesn't like my IDE controller and my hard disk is not detected, hence my system is paralised without a hard disk. (Well, I suspect that it is the unrecognised IDE controller that is the likely cause of fault, and hard disk will be detected if the correct IDE controller module is loaded into the kernel)

I have tried the udma66 and the idepci flavors and none of them seem to work...

I have looked at the latest kernel -- 2.4.0-test12 and it doesn't seem to have any IDE options that are relevant ...

Have I overlooked anything? Does anyone have any ideas?
