It must have something to with any changes from 2.4.18 - 2.4.23. I will try which version up until 2.4.23 that works. I'll keep you posted. Do you know who I should send this "bug" to in order to get it fixed in the next 2.4.x version? /Nicke -----Original Message----- From: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org [mailto:linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org] On Behalf Of Walt H Sent: den 22 december 2003 02:36 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: > Now I'm sucessfully booting my system with the 2.4.23 kernel using > only one of the drives (hde).

If the pdcraid driver is compiled into the kernel, you'll get a message about it during boot, even if it can't find all the drives. I no longer use the 2.4 kernel series (or pdcraid), so I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. Maybe somebody else on the list has some other things to try.
