[ale] Machine With Drives @ e,f,g,h: help?

[James P. Kinney III]

I retract my previous post. The Promise 20276 is not supported in the
2.4.20 kernel or earlier. It is in 2.5.50 and later. It may be in
earlier dev kernel, but I only checked 2.5.50.

So to use the box/board, you will need a dev kernel and a custom boot
CD.
