When I boot my Centos home file server with the latest kernel, 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL, the two Promise controllers installed in the system are unable to enable the 2nd IDE Channel on both cards due to a memory conflict. The error indicates that the next block of memory is already allocated. So the 2nd IDE channel on each card does not get enabled. Listing of the two controllers is below:

00:09.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20267 (FastTrak100/Ultra100) (rev 02) 00:0a.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20268 (Ultra100 TX2) (rev 02)

Looking at "config-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL", the driver is enabled and compiled into the kernel.

Both IDE channels on both controllers are enabled OK on the previous installed kernel which is 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL. Kernels before did not exhibit the current problem either.

Anyone seen a similar problem or aware of a remedy?

Any assistance would be appreciated.
