First, you dont have all the features enabled in kernel; if you are trying to boot off of the raid disks, it may not work with modules. Build them statically. Promise proprietary driver (aka fake scsi driver) knows how to deal with "neither port enabled in BIOS" Otherwise, you have to specify what ide2 and ide3 are , at boot time. For example boot linux ide2=0xd000,0xd402,11 ide3=0xd800,0xdc02,14 You can find IO numbers from Fasttrack BIOS (press Cntrl+F at boot time) or in linux (cat /proc/pci) On Sat, 20 Apr 2002, Darren Nickerson wrote: > > Folks, > > Ever since upgrading to RedHat-7.2 from 7.1, I've been unable to use the disk > on my Promise Raid controller.
