Some folks mentioned this problem, and had it disappear when they upgraded 
their AMD BIOS (There was a hardware bug)

Others have the Plug-In board from Maxtor or Promise (both use the same 
chipset, and so does the ASUS A7V.  Kernel 2.4.3-ac5 or later does not work 
with this chipset.  The chipset was never developed fore anything but windows 
and no support for linux, not even information, was ever released.

The result is that in fixing known bugs and adhering to the specs for 
ATA/100, the linux kernel team has created kernels that do not support this 
chipset.  

7.2 and 8.0 beta 1 and RedHat 7.1 (without an upgraded kernel) seem to work 
with this Promise Ultra-2 Mass Storage Chip with varying degrees of success.  
Others do _NOT_.  

If you have just purchased the board, return it immediately to the place of 
purchase, or use it as intended, as a winIDE controller.
