Well, Linux on RH 6.0 with the 2.2.5 kernel supports the Ultra-33 DMA as long as the
install gets told the parameters. Also, Ultra-66 seems backwards
compatible with Ultra-33. I hear that the newer kernels handle Ultra-66.

I have a Promise Ultra-66 controller with my only hard-drive on it. The motherboard
IDE is not used except for CD and ZIP.
