As far as I know, most controllers will be recognized by the Generic IDE driver, even without compiled-in support. At least this is true of the Promise Ultra-100 card I'm using now. You only need the special Promise support if you need Linux to recognize more than one adapter. Also, I do believe that our bootdisk kernel has Highpoint support enabled. Yep, it looks like it's in there. Best Regards, -- Daniel Robbins President/CEO http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
