We are currently trying to start a project with the goal to support the Promise sx4000 RAID card. There is already one provided, but it is not working with the current 2.6 kernel. It seem there are two possible ways to attack this problem. 1. Get the driver provided by promise up to a current state, and do some disassembling of their binary code. Alternatively use it as is, but getting a tainted kernel. There is some evidence suggesting that this driver is a windows version adapted to be used under Linux. 2. The card seems to be an older version of the card already supported with the module sata_sx4, except it runs PATA and not SATA. It should be possible to do some backporting on this driver. I have scrambled a small team consisting of me and Renan Calliari as developers. In addition to Juha Leivo, who is willing to contribute as a tester. Neither of us are unfortunately experienced with driver development, and we would appreciate any help you can give us. We look forward to hear from you. Best regards -- Tom Fredrik Klaussen
