Well I wouldn't use the Promise (Promise Controllers suck). The VIA SATA
that is in the chipset is much better. Though you probably won't be able
to installed to it. Best bet is to install on a IDE drive and then
compile a 2.6 Kernel. It seems to have better support for the via
chipset though the drivers now have been backported to 2.4.23.
