Hopefully! I'm definately stuck.

df -k output is:

Root filesystem does live on partition 2 which I think is correct.

I'm fairly certain I am. My .config file contains the following:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID_PDC=y
Is there anyway I can tell if my final bz kernel image contains
the correct code??

Thanks anyway, the machine seems to be running ok with the Promise
drivers at the moment which is a _big_ step forward! I'd just like
to be able to step up to the ataraid.o/pdcraid.o configuration!
Thanks again for your help.
