NOTE: Linux Kernel 2. 4.x will wrongly identify the Promise ATA RAID controller as an IDE controller. This would result in the built-in Linux IDE driver trying to handle the controller and can prevent the proper FastTrak ATA RAID driver from being loaded. Follow the installation instructions and the parameter commands referred next. This is known as an "IDE issue."

Linux ide0=0x1f0,0x3f6,14 ide1=0x170,0x376,15 ide2=0 ide3=0 ide4=0 ide5=0 ide6=0 ide7=0 ide8=0 ide9=0 expert

When using the USB floppy drive, choose the USB floppy device such as /dev/sdb.

#mount /dev/sdb /mnt

#sh setup-ft

10.Choose your desired selection, after the FastTrak driver installation has been completed.
