Folks, I just upgraded a server to a dual opteron box (32 bit OS) and could no longer run the two Promise PDC20269 used to control 8 160GB Maxtor disks on RAID5. I bought and installed an 8-port 3ware card. The OS detects the 8 disks but the system seems to fail with raidstart: Jun 9 14:04:37 kestrel kernel: md: raid5 personality registered as nr 4 Jun 9 14:04:44 kestrel kernel: md: could not open unknown-block(1824,41760). Jun 9 14:04:44 kestrel kernel: md: autostart failed! Jun 9 14:04:44 kestrel kernel: md: could not open unknown-block(1824,41760). Jun 9 14:04:44 kestrel kernel: md: autostart failed!

Jun 9 14:04:44 kestrel kernel: md: could not open unknown-block(1824,41760). Jun 9 14:04:44 kestrel kernel: md: autostart failed! and etc. Is there a way to get this array back?
