The Linux driver was VERY hard to find and if I'm not mistaken you didn't get the complete source, one library was precompiled, but all in all it has worked without any problems (when I finally found the drivers =).

I had to make a new username so I could post again...at least allow editing or something, sheesh.

Anyway, I am taking the necessary information from posts on

If you plan on actually getting RAID working, you need the promise drivers from their site

Otherwise (as was my case) you need only enable
Quote:
Device Drivers --> SCSI device support --> SCSI low-level drivers --> Promise SATA *
where * is either SX4 or TX2/TX4 (not sure which, since I just picked them both)

Now a device hooked to the SATA interfaces or the PATA interface are available via /dev/sd*
