If your Promise ATA100 card is PDC20265/PDC20267 then it should work

in patch ide.2.2.19.05042001.patch you can read

+  Promise Ultra100 or PDC20265/PDC20267
+
+  This requires CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO to be enabled.
+
+  Please read the comments at the top of drivers/block/pdc202xx.c
+
+  If unsure, say N.
+
+Special UDMA Feature
+PDC202XX_FORCE_BURST_BIT
+  For PDC20246 and PDC20262 Ultra DMA chipsets.
+  Designed originally for PDC20246/Ultra33 that has BIOS setup failures
+  when using 3 or more cards.
+
+   Please read the comments at the top of drivers/block/pdc202xx.c

+   If unsure, say N.
+Special Mode Feature (EXPERIMENTAL)
+PDC202XX_FORCE_MASTER_MODE
+  For PDC20246 and PDC20262 Ultra DMA chipsets.
