Fix Promise SATAII 150 TX4 (PDC40518) and Promise SATA 300 TX4 (PDC40718-GP) wrong port enumeration order that makes it (nearly) impossible to deal with boot problems using two or more drives.

I wonder that a lot of people use promise sata 300 tx4. i have lots of problems, i always get scsi-errors. now i changed to other harddisk. i use seagate, which is on the compatibility-list of this card. so why is it not working in my computer. i use kernel 2.6.15. what else can be wrong? I have a intel serverboard with dual p3 with 440gx-chipset.

The driver from promise does not compile. Someone out there who got it running? What to do?

any idea?
