Andre,
Is there any chance you will backport the Promise ATA/133
patch to the 2.2 kernel series? If not, is anyone you
know of working on a backport?
I've got a pair of 160GB Maxtors I'd like to get working
soon, perhaps without rolling the office forward to the 2.4
kernel... :) I guess my alternative to finding a 2.2 patch
somewhere is just using the first 137 GB of the drives, and
extending the partition and ext2 filesystem later when we
finally upgrade our kernels.

I am using it long time and it is stable,

Does this patch support lba48 commands? For which ide adapters? (I read an
announcement from Intel that with a patch and a new driver their i8xx
chipsets could use lba48.
Specifically, I am interested in the Promise ATA100 cards since I own one.

If your Promise ATA100 card is PDC20265/PDC20267 then it should work
in patch ide.2.2.19.05042001.patch you can read
+ Promise Ultra100 or PDC20265/PDC20267

+ This requires CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO to be enabled.

+ Please read the comments at the top of drivers/block/pdc202xx.c

Are you sure about the lba48 command support? I can see no mention of it
in the patch.

Maxtor is shipping the Promise 20269 with their 160GB drive.
There is no mention of lba48 support in the
ide.2.2.19.05042001.patch file.
