The german computer magazine c't had a review of the Asus A7V board with
a Promise ATA100 controller in it's 18/2000 issue. They write:
"Nutzer von BeOS oder Linux können den Chip derzeit nicht nutzen"
(BeOS or Linux users can't use the chip at present)
I'll CC: this mail tho the article's author, perhaps he can tell us more.
The onboard Promise controller may contain a different chip than the
Promise PCI cards, or it may need a special initialisation.
