Hi, I am a little confused ... What is the purpose of putting "ide2=0xd000,0xd402 ide3=0xd8000,0xdc02" (or some variant of) on the Linux boot line? I have never had to do this (all I do is put "hdc=ide-scsi" for my cd-writer). I have a Promise FastTrak 100 Raid controller and have been using it quite successfully from the -ac days up to and including the 2.4.18 release. I have problems with the 2.4.19 release.

I think the addresses can be changed in the Promise BIOS, hence the difference between our boards. > I boot and still nothing on fdisk -l /dev/ataraid/d0 Hmmm.

You did do a make modules_install, didn't you?). If *all* the required modules are compiled in, then you actually don't need an initrd, but it's the RedHat way, and additional filesystem drivers (ext3, reiser, xfs, etc) might be needed anyway. Here's a snippet of my boot.msg. Can you post the IDE related section of yours?
