Woody 3.0, bf24 and Promise PDC20267 controller

[Meir Kriheli <meir@mksoft.co.il>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Debian 3.0 on a new server. The server has normal 
prim/sec ide's and additional 2 ide's on a PDC20267 (on board).

I've connected a cdrom as master on secondary ide (hdc), and 2 hd's connected 
to each promise ide.

When booting from the cd, I'm using bf24 flavor of the kernel. The problem is 
that I can't see the disks connected to the promise controller, or the 
additional ide's for that matter.

examining dmesg I can see that the controller is detected but later I see an 
error like:

neither ide is enabled (BIOS)

Looking at the boards bios setup I can see that the controller is enabled.

I've tried passing ide2=_addr_of_controller_as_reported_by_bios and ide3 
params to the kernel as well as noapic but still no avail.

Any ideas ?

Thanks
