IDE/Promise 20276 FastTrack RAID Doesn't work in 2.4.21, patch attached to fix

Folks,

After I upgraded to 2.4.21, I noticed my Gigabyte motherboard with 
onboard IDE Promise 20276 FastTrack RAID no longer works.  The following 
patch fixes the problem, which appears to be an incomplete list of 
devices in the ide setup code.  There are probably other fasttrack RAID 
adaptors that should be added to the setup code, but I don't know what 
they are.

Thanks

Hi,

Do you have "Special FastTrak Feature" enabled?

I tried the kernel with the special fasttrak feature enabled, and it 
didn't work.  There are special cases in the pci-setup.c code for other 
promise adaptors, so adding one more seems to make sense.

Thanks

Can we change the option to something that makes sense.  I get the 
feeling no one understands what it does at 1st glance.  This is the 2nd 
time I've seen a patch like this.

I tried the kernel with fasttrack enabled because I saw something about 
forcing the bios, but either it doesn't work or it doesn't work with my 
adaptor.  The patch does work, though.

But I definately agree, special fasttrack feature should atleast have 
some useful help information for how it is used (if anyone knows?)
