Summary:
Kernel boots with Promise ATA/100 controler and no disks, boots with disk
on ATA/33 controler, crashes with disk on ATA/100 controler.
Details:
The onboard ATA/33 controler handles the boot disk (Quantum Fireball
6.4GB), CD-ROM and an ATA/100 disk (Maxtor 20GB).
To get more out of the Maxtor, I added the Promise controler and attached
the Maxtor to it.
During boot, the BIOS picks up the Promise controler and shows it probe
and find the Maxtor and correctly determine it to be UDMA/100 capable. The
boot loader loads as normal, but as soon as the kernel (both 4.5-STABLE
and recent 4.6-RC) load starts, it bombs with a console message which
look vaguely like..
epi: 0001xb4 abc: 0053dt ...
[five more lines like that]
BTX Halted.
..at which point it hangs hard.
With the Maxtor attached to the onboard ATA/33 controler, the kernel boots
fine and recognises the Promise controler.
# dmesg | egrep '^(ata|ad)'

When I connected an ATA/33 Zip disk to the Promise controler, it bombs in
exactly the same fashion.
Any assistance in determining why I can't have my disk on the Promise
controler would be much appreciated.
The only suspicion I have is that this may be irq related. I seem to have
quite a few devices (all working) on irq 9:
# dmesg | awk '/irq 9/{print $1,$2,$3,$4}'
pci1: <NVidia/SGS-Thomson Riva128 graphics
uhci0: <Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4)
intpm0: <Intel 82371AB Power
pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1370> port
atapci1: <Promise TX2 ATA100
