If you can't boot from the promise, you probably won't be able to boot
from the siig card. If the bios is seeing the card and attempting to
boot from a drive on that card and failing partway through with a
message stating it can't find the partition/drive, you will probably
need to find the io port addresses and pass those to the kernel in lilo
or grub depending on which your using. If its not attempting to load at
all, then its a bios issue.

In either case you'll probably go through the same stuff with the siig
or most any other add-on ide card.

You might want to check the how-to on promise ide cards, the info there
is also applicable to other cards. There is also a bios upgrade for the
promise cards specifically for some linux issues, but I believe it was
CD-Rom problems.
