I have had hit-or-miss results with the Promise card.  I am using
the ATA-133 card, the ones that Maxtor rebrands and includes with
the big drives.  These cards work on one of my machines, and not
for the other.  I had to modify my grub.conf:

...
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-19.9 ro root=/dev/hde1
...

I am on the road, and have poor access to the machines, so if you
are still having problems in another week, contact me and we'll
debug this stuff.
