Hmmmm... 

PDC20265: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary PCI Mode Secondary PCI Mode.
    ide2: BM-DMA at 0xbc00-0xbc07, BIOS settings: hde:DMA, hdf:pio
    ide3: BM-DMA at 0xbc08-0xbc0f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:DMA

Hmmm... that is a Promise ATA/100 chip...under 2.4.0-test9. Problem is
that one has to get the install disk 1 that was made especially for
installing to the HDs on that chip... Problem is that I don't have a URL
of where I got the install disk... BUT I do have it here, just needs a
place for me to drop it somewhere. :)
