hope this is not too far off topic.
i am trying to set up linux software raid 5 using 6 WD
120G drives attatched to 3 prmise ultra100
controllers. it the promise bios detects only the
first two cards and attatched drives, never the third
or its drives. the kernel however does detect all
three controllers, as well as all connected drives:

so everything appears to be there.
problem occurs when i try to read/write to/from
/dev/hdn. Here are the messages generated by running
hdparm -t /dev/hdn:

the mobo is old gateway with lates bios (phoenix)
installed. the promise cards are identical ultra100
with bios v2.01b27.
i built the kernel without module support on another
machine then copied bz over. here is the IDE chipset
support/bugfixes portion of the config:

i have tried different drives on the problem bus with
no difference.
is it possible to run three+ cards simultaneously?
any suggestions or ideas are appreciated. more
information available upon request.
cheers,
ryan
