...t be some community interest/help for making it really smooth. One thing woth of mentining is that CFLAGS have been '-mtune=ev6' for all the packages, that does obey normal rpmbuild process. I am not sure what the impact is in real life, but IMO it won't make a really slow hardware any _slower_ and might even a little faster for anything useable (no pun intended. 'useable' may vary from person to person :) EXPECTED FINAL RELEASE TIME: I'd expect this to be bit much polished up time of CentOS 4.2 will be reality. At least it's where i am aming for final release. TESTED...

I'm trying to install CentOS 4 on an A8V on the PATA/Raid drives on the Promise controller. The Promise controller is recognized (sata_promise), but the PATA drives are not recognized. Base on this thread https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=147303 it seems that there is a patch which was merged in 2.6.11 to get pata working. Any ideas how to proceed? Thanks in advance
