After 7 years of service I decided to upgrade my old server (kernel 2.4.27).
Now the 2nd disk controller won't work properly, the IO rate is disasterous.
It is a Promise Ultra100 TX2 (PDC20268) and the interrupt is being disabled by the kernel when the driver ( pata_pdc2027x ) is inserted.
I've tried the nonpae kernel, different PCI slot, new BIOS for card and main board, turing all sorts of BIOS options on and off and nothing seems to help.
So after 4 days (and a couple of nights) of trying all sorts I don't know what else to try.
The mainboard is a ECS K7S5A.
I disabled the module from being loaded at boot to try it on its own and I get this in the syslog (its what I also get during normal boot too):
