    It looks like the check for the PDC20265 added in ac10 causes some
    problems. I have an MSI K7T Turbo R which has a Promise FastTrak built in -
    when I try to boot ac10 or ac11 on it I get an Oops just after the "ide:
    Found promise 20265 in RAID mode." message. I diffed ide-pci.c between ac5
    (which worked) and ac10 (which fails) and found that the only change was
    the check for the PDC20265 - I commented this out and the kernel boots fine
    now.

    On another topic, does anyone know how to disable the onboard FastTrak? I
    don't use it, and it makes my boot time longer...

    Thanks,
