Yes .. your system has 2 ATA controllers. The RID failure is probably
normal if the other one is present.  The ICH5 southbridge ATA controller
has grabbed the "standard" ports and the Promise ports stack in behind.

To answer the question, yes the Promise controller is supported. You'll
need to connect disks to it if you want to use it though :)
