Pity...
According to the motherboard manual the promisce controller supports one ATA133
channel and two Serial ATA connectors.
Tried to pretend it to be a 20276 but it seems to fail (redhat kernel 2.4.18-18.8.0custom):
PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xf1720, last bus=1
PCI: Using configuration type 1
PCI: Probing PCI hardware

Using pci=biosirq makes no difference.
