I added the following line to static struct pci_device_id
pdc_ata_pci_tbl[] in sata_promise.c:
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_PROMISE, 0x3d17, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0,
board_20319 },
and the card was recognised and seam to work without errors so far.
Yes, this should be fine (this is a 4-port SATA card right?)
Are you happy to produce and submit a patch yourself (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches) or should I submit one for you?
Thanks,
Daniel
Yes you are right it is a 4-port sata-II 300 card (PDC40718 ). According to
the promise feature list it should support :
SATA300™ TX4 Highlights
* Native Command Queuing (NCQ)
* SATA Tagged Command Queuing (TCQ)
* Large LBA support for drives above 137GB
* Supports Serial ATAPI devices
* Disk Activity LED Headers
* Flexible future-proof upgrade for users with motherboards that
only have a PCI interface
My question is also are these features (NCQ/TCQ) and the heigher
datarate be supported by this
modification? or is only the basic feature set of sata 150 TX4 supported?
Here is the patch:

I just saw the patches of Luke Kosewski regarding the SATA150 TX4 antipating
them it might be right to modify the patch to
