Hi! Thanks for response!
Yes, this is a Promise SATAII 150 TX4 controller.. But afaik it

No /dev/ar*..

This card does afaik dont have raid functionalitys (I've never read  
anything about it either on the web, the cards box or anywhere else..).
I'm running GENERIC, which does include ataraid..
What does your dmesg identify your card as?

atapci0: <Promise PDC40518 SATA150 controller> port 0xb800-0xb87f, 
0xb400-0xb4ff mem 0xfb800000-0xfb800fff,0xfb000000-0xfb01ffff irq 19  
at device 12.0 on pci0

Is it the same PDC chipset?
