All, I have successfully used the 21.7.5 patched lilo with 2.4.13-ac8. However, I cannot get it to work with 2.4.17. Basically I do: mount root=/dev/ataraid/d0p5 mem=720M hdc=ide-scsi BTW, I am using the latest MAKEDEV etc. This works, as I say, for 2.4.13-ac8. However for the 2.4.17 the kernel panics saying root "ataraid/d0p5" is invalid or it does not have 00a. I even checked: http://ataraid.slimyhorror.com/ Anybody got any ideas?

Has the patch been forwarded to the maintainer of the 2.4 kernel series ? It would be a good idea for this patch to be merged into the new kernels.

I abandoned the stock kernel for 2.4.16 because it Works. In all other aspects, it's a stock 8.0 install, and seems to run great. Just an idea. Try the 2.4.16 kernel.

How would be the best way to do this, without a complete reinstall? Move it from the SW raid to my backupdrive and restore it, with it working on the HW Raid?

I abandoned the stock kernel for 2.4.16 because it Works. In all other aspects, it's a stock 8.0 install, and seems to run great. Just an idea. Try the 2.4.16 kernel.

I have both the 2400a and the 3ware cards, they are both excellent and comparable to each other. The 2400a, however, does beat the 3ware in Raid 5...
