I tried every solution proposed on this board - nothing helps me. Disks are identified as individual drives, but no raid. Never! It cannot mount /dev/ataraid/d0pX for any X And I do not see any messages about ataraid or pdcraid at all during the boot. I only see that hptraid is not identified (I do not have it). Should there be any messages about ataraid? I even tried compile them as modules and create .img file - does not help, result is exactly the same.

However, with a trick in /usr/src/linux/drivers/ide/pdc202xx.c you can put in TX2000 support yourself. You just have to replace all occurences of "20269" with "20271". The latter is the ID of the TX2000 card. Then just recompile the kernel. This is not a beautilful solution, but it works. Goetz
