The machine will boot with the bootable disk attached to the motherboard. When I attached a disk drive to the Rocket 100, the Linux (either Opensuse or Ubuntu) will hang. It seems the OpenSuse and Ubuntu recognize the Rocket 100 Controller but when a drive is attached to the controller, the OS hangs.

FreeBSD just got a driver for this in CURRENT, I'm unsure if
it's been MFC'ed to appear in the 7.0 Release and if it will
run your exact hardware.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for the response. I am willing to buy another controller card so I could use my new 500GB IDE ATA drive but I am having troubles finding a controller card that is compatible by Ubuntu 7.10. I simply haven't been able to find this information. Any idea where to look?
Sincerely,
Sam Al-Droubi, M.S.
