Only whichever controller that is placed in the highest priority PCI slot will work.
The sil3112 sata RAID is in PCI 2 with IRQ 10.
The Promise pata RAID is in PCI 3 with IRQ 11.
Neither are sharing resources with other devices.
After mobo bios post, the sata bios will post, then windows loads.
If I switch the cards, the promise bios will post.
Both controllers can be seen in device manager, only the sata raptor can be seen in disk management. Both have arrays created.
I have tried playing with PCI slot configuration and IRQ assignments. No luck.
How can I get my PATA RAID operational? What needs to be done to use two add-in controllers? Should each card bios post upon boot up?
I run XP.
BTW... This problem has me stumped, and I'm working on it at OCForums, ExtremeOverclocking Forums, and Storagereview forums also. I will keep this thread updated on any progress. I appreciate all advice.
