Great! It's working without a hitch (but with a few kernel args!).

I have to say that I can't put my card in slot 3 or 4, but only in 1 or
2. Not an issue for me but you may want to know ...

Also, the Promise Card is the only one IDE controller on my Mac, but it
gets detected at ide2 and ide3. Not an isssue for me neither :-)

Thanks for your work! I'll post instructions on linuxppc-user ...

Cheers,

Simon
