I don't have a kern.log file on my system (RH9) but I grepped /var/log/* for
the above and found nothing. There's no mention of "0.03beta", "Promise" or "raid" in any of the log files. I also grepped the output of dmesg and nothing.
I think the kernel doesn't know about the device number (105a:3376 = PDC20376) since it isn't in the kernel's drivers/pci/pci.ids file (latest device is 7275 PDC20277)and it doesn't recognize the device when it processes the IDE devices at boot up. All I get is:
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx

Partition check:

Note that ide2 isn't found even though I specifically gave the ports for it on the "append line" of the boot. I don't know enough about the IDE/PDC support to be able to add support for this new PDC20376 chip.
Anyone out there done this? Shane?
