    I just wanted to throw this out there, I've got an Asus A8V with the same
    Promise controller and the system boots fine. However, I only have SATA
    drives (mirror) (no PATA drives) and two CDROM/DVD drives.

    Does your MB by chance have a PATA raid connector? It's an IDE connector
    that's red, but it's meant to raid two PATA drives. Just curious if your
    PATA drives are connected to the primary IDE bus, or to this parallel raid
    bus. Just a thought.
