Problems with sata_promise

We've just connected the new disk to our mirror, but they are not yet usable. At first we had a defective sata cable and after fixing that, it seems that the PCI ID of the SATA controller is not yet in the 2.6.13.4 sata_promise driver. I think i read somewhere that there is a patch in 2.6.14 :) Perhaps i'll figure it out tomorrow.
Update:
The controller works flawlessly after adding the PCI ID to sata_promise.c.
New harddisks for debian.tu-bs.de

We (ATekoN e.V.) have just received three 300GB SATA disks and a 4 port controller for our mirror. We'll install them in the next days and migrate the data away from the old SCSI disks.
We'll have about 400GB available after removing the old disks, so we'll probably mirror all debian installer images again. This is also good for the Kanotix project, as they will have more space to store beta releases.
The disks are Maxtor MaXLine III 300GB and the conroller is a Promise SATA 300 TX4, which should work well with Linux.
