This is not a common error. I need a lot more information to debug this: - the output of /sbin/lspci - for the Promise device only, the output of /sbin/lspci -n -vvxxx - a complete kernel boot log from a boot with a vanilla www.kernel.org 2.6.24-rc7 kernel Since 2.6.22 works for you, it would help if you did a binary search to identify when the problem was introduced. Like first try 2.6.23 (or current stable 2.6.23.n), and then either the 2.6.23-rc kernels (if 2.6.23 is broken) or the 2.6.24-rc kernels (if 2.6.23 works). /Mikael - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
