Distribution: Debian etch (stable)

Hardware Environment: Sun Fire x4100
(http://www.crocom.com.pl/ulotki/X4100.pdf)
8 ST3400832AS drives connected to Promise FastTrak TX4200
2 ST973401LSUN72G drives connected to on board Fusion SAS

Software Environment:
Problem Description:  

I will attach dmesg output, hdparm and lspci.  I have tried acpi=noirq, noapic,
 irqpoll and pci=routeirq.  The drives connected to promise controller fail to
identify.  The dmesg for rc-3 with sata_promise 2.09 is truncated as the kernel
loops indefinitely.  Replacing sata_promise.c with version 2.08 from previous
kernels allows 2.6.23-rc3 to boot (with some warnings during compile/boot).

Steps to reproduce:  Boot the machine with the promise card connected.
