I assume you probably already tried running the system without the nics. I
haven't heard of any limits in linux with regards to number of IDE ports.
Only other suggestion would make would be to double check the master/slave
settings or maybe read up on the BIOS see if there's any limitations.

Subject: Dual Promise Controllers
Hey guys and gals,
Got a question for you. I am building a system with dual promise
Ultra66 Controllers and I am running into some problems with the system
freezing. I am running RH 6.2 with a kernel rpm that has the ultra66
drives compiled in. It appears that when I install both controllers the
system (RedHat not the BIOS)freezes and when I have only one controller
in it works fine. This would appear to be an IRQ problem, but it I have
shut off any unnecessary stuff.
Any Ideas?
Secondly, anyone who has been able to run dual controllers, what is the
configuration of your system: board, processor and so on.
Components of this system:
I810/Biosstar (Tried both)
128MB
2 Promise Ultra66 Controllers
8 - 40.9 GB Drives
CD-Rom
Floppy
Dual Intel NICs
400Watt P/S
I think I have all the bases covered, but the system still gives me
trouble. Let me know if you have any ideas.
