um, hold on a minute. Unless I read this wrong, a Promise Ultra100 IDE
controller
is NOT a scsi conroller, and will not work with a SCSI drive.
Like John said:
Does windows see the Quantum?
When you boot linux, what is detected (look at /var/log/messages or use
'dmesg' (which may or may not give the right info!))?
In windows, (I'm doing this from memory, so I may miss some parts or have
them in the wrong place, sorry!) start up the 'my computer' thingy, and
look at whats under the 'devices' tab. Do you see anything in there that
says SCSI? If not, the problem is more basic than getting linux to
work with your SCSI, its a problem of getting scsi to work at all
