That's not accurate. See the Ultra66 HOWTO.
I installed on 6.2 fine, without using anything from Promise. Basically
what you do is pass the kernel parameters that let it see the hard drives.
Once you upgrade/install you need the UDMA patches to the kernel, recompile
the kernel, install the new kernel, take out the kernel boot parameters, and
there you go.
The only reason you need to pass in the kernel parameters is so it knows
where the address of each drive is; it can't autoprobe them.
