Hi,
My Debian box is on an Hitachi hard disk ATAPI/IDE/SATA.
"normal" Linux distributions don't see this motherboard/controller/
hard disk
configuration.
The processor is an AMD 64
I would like to add 2 hard disks to do some Oracle labs,
but I think I need to slot in a controller.
Could someone give me indications on a controller (brand, model)
that would
be
recognized at boot time by Debian?

The Promise (old one) SATA TX2 Plus is recgonized at boot time by
Sarge.
Has 2 SATA 1.5GBps ports and 1 ATA port.
It seems Promise cards are well supported. I use the Promise
Fasttrack 150 SX4 card. It's a 4 port SATA card with fake raid
support (software raid from the card's bios) The card is
automagically detected by the installer and the appropriate driver is
loaded. With dmraid it is supposed to be possible to use the fakeraid
part, but I've set the card to 4x JBOD and setup the drives with
linux' software raid.
