Bootable CD's on Promise Ultra 100 TX2? Not working...

[BigToque]

Is there a problem with booting off of CDs when you are using a Promise Ultra 100 TX2 IDE card?

Right now I'm trying to add RedHat 8.0 to my system, but when the controller is detecting my drives, it detects all of them, then just boots into Win2k, skipping the whole boot from CD that I'm trying to do.

I've tried my CD on another system and it boots from the CD with no problem.

Usually its not a good idea to have cd-roms on a controller such as yours, if you can, move the cd-rom to the boards ide connector.

can you load a 'scsi' driver at install like with windows? that's how many raid/addin controllers work.

The TX2's BIOS only initializes with HDDs.
