I have a 376 on my motherboard, but its disabled [1].
Currently I have a Promise Ultra TX 133 in there.
There were problems in 2.4.18's Promise drivers fixed in 2.4.20,
which is why you have to do the long convoluted process referenced in:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/debian-user-200401/msg05141.html
Any chance of a backported Ultra TX 133 driver that could just be put on
a floppy like this?

[1] I have an Asus P4C800-E with an onboard SATA/RAID controller.
If I don't disable it I get memory errors with Microsoft's Memory
Diagnostic tool (http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp), and lockups
when playing Freedom Fighter. memtest86 reports no errors!
The errors are in Bank 0, even when you switch the chips, or if you put
the chips in Bank 1 and 3 the errors are always in Bank 1.
I found this:

which says I should disable it.
