dual promise card problems
I'm currently running 2 Ultra 133 TX2 Promise controller cards, I cannot seem to get both of them to work at the same time under debian, they were confirmed working under gentoo so I know they "should" work ^^. So far I have tested the cables, the pci slots, the cards and the bios on the cards, the hdd's and they all come out fine. In all cases the first card detected will let me access the hdd's but the second one detected will not. The drives do show up under /dev and in dmesg but are totally unaccesable.
this is from my logs :

I am currrently running the debian kernel 2.6.8-3-386
the errors I get from the drives when trying ot access them are
datagod:/var/log# fdisk /dev/hdi
Unable to open /dev/hdi
and when I try to mount them
datagod:/home/anime/anime# mount /dev/hdi animeI
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
but like I said if I switch the controller cards it's still always the first one hit that works and the second just doesn't let me access
