Have two WD800BB drives installed. Added both myself. They work seamlessly in the above distributions while hanging off a Promise Technology 20269 (rev 02) IDE controller plugged into a PCI slot of this Asus K7V motherboard. They are correctly recognized, partitioned and set up during clean installation of these distros.
