    No promise 378 does 2 HD types : PATA ( ide ) and SATA.

    I've got 2 hards drives IDE ...

    here is the dmesg message :

    EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
    libata version 1.10 loaded.
    sata_promise version 1.01
    ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF8806200 ctl 0xF8806238 bmdma 0x0 irq 177
    ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF8806280 ctl 0xF88062B8 bmdma 0x0 irq 177
    ata1: no device found (phy stat 00000000)
    scsi0 : sata_promise
    ata2: no device found (phy stat 00000000)
    scsi1 : sata_promise

    in fact linux doesn't detect the hard drive ... even they are detected
    in the bios promise card ...

    I'm totally lost by this problem ... :(

    i thin to rebuild the driver whill be the best idea ...

    no ?
