I finally got it working BUT with the intel ICH5 controller, not the Promise controller; I'm not using RAID and don't mind, but don't know if that's your case.
I connected a Maxtor 120 GB to the ICH5 connector, changed the BIOS Ide settings to Compatible mode and installed RH9. After upgrading through RH network to the latest kernel release, 2.4.20-20.9smp, I could change the BIOS setting to Enhanced mode and reboot without problems.
I had to edit the /etc/fstab file to adjust the new letter assigned to the disk in the swap partition entry (it changed from hdc2 to hde2).
Regards,
Pedro
