Hello Arjan,

The people of RedHat take a good Work by the driver Version 1.20b5.
My only problem is that my Athlon is not installed correctly during normal 
Installation.
My Board is an Epox-8KTA+ with the KT133 Chipset and an Athlon 800 
Thunderbord.
The Mtrr localisate the Athlon CPU as an Intel type 

here my messages.log

give the above results.

My problem is to installing the agpgart for my Geforce 2 MX. 

I am a newby in linux and tried to compile the Alan Cox Kernel 2.4.6-ac with 
the patches as a second Kernel on my System.

All goes well during Installation of the Kernel and the script for the 
dev/ataraid devices.

Now I have problems with your Makefile. I don´t now in which directory I have 
to install your driver to run the Makefile for my new Kernel.
The Makefile look always to my old kernelversion and not to the new one.
I have packed the old Linux-2.4.2-2 Kernel in an Archiv, it is enough?
I have now two directories in lib/modules.
What do I wrong?

[root@localhost ataraid]# make
cc -g -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -O2 -march=i686 
-fomit-frame-point
er -Wall -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS  -Wno-unused -include 
/lib/modules/
`uname -r`/build/include/linux/modversions.h   -c -o ataraid.o ataraid.c
In file included from ataraid.c:29:
/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/build/include/linux/swap.h:104: parse error before `*'
make: *** [ataraid.o] Fehler 1

I tried the new driver from Promise, but with the new driver 1.09 a 
installation of Redhat isn´t possible.

I look for new drivers on the promise site and found this:

[08-31-01] The RedHat drivers have been temporarily removed. Please check 
back in a few days.

They have have found theire failure, I think.

Excuse me for my bad english

Best Regards from Germany
