Promise ATA100 and translations

[Hamish Moffatt <hamish@debian.org>]

I have an ASUS A7V motherboard with a pair of ATA66 IDE controllers
and also a Promise ATA100 (20265) pair of ATA100 controllers.

I have an ATA100 disk which has been running on the ATA66 controller
as hdb. I moved it onto the ATA100 controller as an experiment;
linux spotted it as hde, but didn't think there were any partitions
on it. Actually it contains two extended partitions, a fat32
partition and an ext2fs partition.

I didn't try booting Windows (2000) to see if it saw its partition.

Anyone seen this problem? Is it to do with geometry translation?
If so presumably there's a command line parameter for the kernel
which will fix it up. Will Windows also see the disk?


thanks
