I've got the onboard promise controller set not to use the raid0 function but to act as a normal ata100 controller just like the via controller next to it. I'm using a 3ware controller as the main drive controller. There seem to be problems with both onboard controllers however. With or without a drive connected to the VIA controller, the system hangs for 40 seconds when it reaches that point in the boot process. When I connect any drive to the promise controller, The system finds the controller and drive, but then locks up after it detects the floppy controller. Has anyone seen this before? Are there problems with this board's onboard controllers? Or do I have a bad board? The system has 512 meg of ram, and is running an athlon gigahertz processor at 266 FSB. Thanks in advance.
