Promise are clearly being less than helpful here and that is not your fault.

However as far as I can see everyone who has a FastTrak which is "stuck"
in RAID mode[1] would be happy if it worked as a normal IDE controller
in Linux, which is (usually?) not the case - eg on the MSI board where
only the first channel is seen.

[1] generally because it is integrated with the motherboard and RAID
is the only thing that the BIOS understands

Stephen,

Sorry but that is a closed source driver and you have to goto Promise, LOL.
Last time I talked to them they sent me an email virus that choked a drive.
Scan your mail first and then count your fingers if you have to shake
hands with somebody their....

They dont supply most of the source, just get a different controller.

Из всего этого следует, что Promise - есть %:?:%?: контроллер, и как Cox, Так 
и Hedrick не советуют его использовать.

Удачи,
