The other solution would be to download and install the kernel 2.2.14-3.rpm.
Someone on this list made it and has it on their ftp server and I dont seem
to remember the address. The kernel is awesome. It has USB and all the IDE
patches from Hedrick. Im currently using it on 4 machines. It sees the
Promise U66 chipset and the HPT66 chipset. Im running it on 2 Promise U66
cards, and one HPT66 card (SIIG). Special thanks to the guy who make that RPM.
Perhaps that gentleman will speak up and give the address again.
