Re: 2.4.19rc2 and Promise RAID controller

[Andre Hedrick]

This is just proves that accepting the patch code from Promise will begin
to remove basic support for hardware.  I warned everyone of this and
people do not listen.  So I suggest that you find another vendors product
to use as the PDC20270 shall not be supported anymore.
