IDE controllers

[j_hirner]

I've got a Promise technology Ultra 100tx2 IDE controller. Which distributions/versions of Linux will support it?

Thanks!

Redhat should

Any distro with a recent 2.4.x kernel should too.

redhat supported it out of the box for rh 7.1 and rh 7.2, it was prety easy to ste up with debain too.

edit: that is for the promise 20265 controller - whcih is a UDMA controntroler.

Debian support for ATA100 is a bitch. It required you to boot off of separate ISO CD, which is not part of Debian 5 CD set. I would say if you are just looking for easy set up of any
Linux distro that support ATA100, then I would say go for Red Hat which support out of the box and it required you to have only two CDs.

slackware supports it, best choise go with the distro you know best and compile the kernel

Pssst... I wrote a PET for that guys...

Go read that one and you'll be set of life !
