There must be a bug causing the Promise card / driver not to be fired up (i'm using ab ASUS P2B motheroard). If I issue the "acpi=off" to the kernel at boot it detects the card and fires up the driver. Everything seems to work now. Who should I post this bug to so it can be fixed in coming releases? /Nicke -----Original Message----- From: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org [mailto:linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org] On Behalf Of Walt H Sent: den 23 december 2003 04:47 To: Nicklas Bondesson Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: Re: Error mounting root fs on 72:01 using Promise FastTrak TX2000 (PDC20271) Nicklas Bondesson wrote: > The patch did not work for me, in fact there was no change at all > (anything affected to me).

The pdcraid driver has not received much attention lately, so it may very well be broken for your configuration. Promise has released a binary/source combo driver similar to Nvidia's that will still work in 2.4 - you might give that a try. I have a PDC20276 based onboard raid setup, however, I use 2.6 with device mapper to use it. It's a bit of a pain to setup ATM - especially if you want to boot from it, but it can be done.
