Promise controllers work great. :) Hmm, I use SMP motherboard Intel STL2 with ServerWorks ServerSet III LE and integrated ROSB4: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/STL2/ I can't found any notes here about the controller.

It DID work with my IBM drive (IC35L040AVER, noted in ata(4) man page) before PAE intergration without problems. Now I turned it off - it panices 4.9-STABLE under heavy load. Eugene
