-> 
-> PLUG,
-> I have recently decided to curtail my support for Bill 
-> Gates' empire and
-> I bought RedHat 7.0 Linux yesterday. Now I'm trying to get 
-> it installed
-> and it doesn't see my hard drive. I built a system to run it on that
-> looks like this:
-> 
-> Asus A7V motherboard
-> AMD Athlon 1000
-> 256MB ECC PC133 SDRAM
-> 45GB ATA100 IBM HDD
-> Toshiba 48x CDROM
-> 2 - Netgear FA-312 10/100 NICs
-> 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP video
-> 
-> The A7V motherboard has an onboard Promise ATA100 controller 
-> in addition
-> to the traditional ATA66 controller (VIA chipset). It's the Promise
-> ATA100 controller that's the source of the problem. 
-> Apparently the Linux
-> 2.2.16 kernel that ships with RH 7 doesn't recognize this controller
-> natively. All the support I've found to date from the Asus web site,
-> Promise web site, Newsgroups, etc. has been kernel patches 
-> for RH 6.1 &
-> 6.2. Nothing for 7.0.
-> 
-> I understand the RH 2.4 kernel MAY natively support the 
-> Promise ATA100
-> controller. But have not been able to find that either.
-> 
-> Can someone help or point me in the right direction?
-> 
-> Thanks,
-> KW
