Okay, I'm booting with: kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.9-31smp ro root=/dev/hda2 hdc=ide-scsi ide2=0xa800,0xac02,9 ide3=0xb000,0xb402,9 PDC20267: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 50 PDC20267: chipset revision 2 PDC20267: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later PDC20267: ROM enabled at 0xe3000000 PDC20267: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary MASTER Mode Secondary MASTER Mode.

I'm able to mount my disk's partition (hde1) without using RAID, seemingly. Recall that Promise's driver was reporting: Promise FastTrak Series Linux Driver v1.20 (build 9) scsi3 : FASTTRAK Vendor: Promise Model: 1+0 Span Rev: 1.10 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 SCSI device sdb: 120103137 512-byte hdwr sectors (61493 MB) sdb: sdb1 I'm not sure about "Model: 1+0 Span" . . . can I just access this as a normal IDE device? Ataraid still hates it: [root@hewes darren]# insmod pdcraid Using /lib/modules/2.4.9-31smp/kernel/drivers/ide/pdcraid.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-31smp/kernel/drivers/ide/pdcraid.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters [root@hewes darren]# Thanks! I can see my data now, I just don't know if I dare write to it mounted at hde1?! -Darren
