I recently purchased the ASUS A7V133 board also, though I do not currently
use the ATA100/RAID controller I am able to boot and get it recognized with the
kernel patch provided by www.linux-ide.org. Compile in support for the Promise
controller. Debian also has a kernel-image-2.2.17-ide deb that should work.
Try:
1. Install debian on the standard IDE drive.
2. Either patch and build the kernel yourself (www.linux-ide.org) or
apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.17-ide.
3. Add to lilo.conf
other=/dev/hde1
label=win
4. Run lilo as root
5. Reboot
Should work.
Good luck.
Kevin
