PCI-IDE-controller on U60

Dear listmembers,
did anyone out there ever successfully install an PCI-IDE-controller on a Ultra
60 machine? I always get a kernel panic after the controller has been found,
tried two Promise controllers so far (U33 and U133). Switching to ide=nodma
kernel feature does not help. I cannot dump the errorlog, because I could not
build this as a module, so the kernel starts booting, but before the
scsi-controller driver is being initialized, the system dies. It is hard to
write down a page of hexadecimals of a system crash - cannot dereference null
pointer or something similar is announced as the last signal of live. Sigh. If
that keeps going, my DVD-burner will never work.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated,
take care



Dieter
