Default NEED HELP: Abit BP6 & Promise RAID cards boot issue

Hey, maybe someone here can help me out... I haven't been able to find
anything anywhere on this. Basically, what I want to be able to do is have
two Promise RAID cards in my system, and still be able to boot off one of
them. Here is details on my setup...

I am running on an Abit BP6 mobo with the latest BIOS (RU). I have a
FastTrak100 in PCI slot 1 that has my bootable OS array. My boot sequence
is set to "EXT, A, C" in the BIOS, with EXT meaning SCSI. With this setup,
I have absolutely no problems booting.

Now, I add a FastTrak SX4000 lite, and throw that in PCI slot 5. When I
turn on my machine, it POSTs, goes through the FT100 BIOS screen, goes
through the SX4000 BIOS screen, then the system goes to "Verifying DMI Pool
Data .." and hangs there.

Any ideas on how I can get this to work??? Promise says they don't support
running two of their controllers at once, but maybe there's a way to get it
to work?

Thanks a lot!!!
