Re: ATA RAID Promise PDC20276

Yoram,
>From your description below, it sounds like what you downloaded and
installed from Promise were the ATA drivers, as oposed to the RAID
drivers. This means that the 20276 is acting as a regular IDE controller,
and that's why you see two drives.

I'm in a similar dilema, where I had upgraded to 2.4.18-5, but there is
actually no RAID driver from Promise for that kernel build. They do have
the driver for 2.4.18-3 available, but you'd have to downgrade back to that
kernel build. I have chosen not to do that because I want the more
stable & secure kernel.

I have written to Promise e-mail support in Taiwan and the US, and both
times received replies basically saying NO -- see below.

Dear Dani,
We are only supporting Kernel 2.4.18-3. Only this base kernel will be
supported. Sorry!

Subject: Need driver for -5 kernel build of Redhat 7.3
Hello,
I was very happy to finally find PDC20276 drivers for Redhat 7.3!!!
However the drivers in the file
http://www.promise.com/support/file/T-FTS-02-RHD73.zip
do not support the 2.4.18-5 kernel build of Redhat 7.3, they only have the 2
4.18-3 build.
Could I please have either the properly compiled FastTrak.o file for 2.4
18-5, or the source code for it?
I would much appreciate it.
Thanks.
-Dani.
