Hi all:
I have installed Red Hat 8 with 2.4.18-14 ,i2o support as module, but i can
not find my card anywhere.
Here i am sending you my dmesg and my modules.conf .
Notes I have a 120GB in hda where i have installed red hat , and 5 hardrives
in the promise card .

I've got a similar bug report to this in my bug database:

You need to load i2o_pci, then i2o_core then i2o_block.

i2o_pci is not loaded
Hi!
To make a SX6000 card work with Linux:
1) Make sure the card BIOS is enabled.
2) In the BIOS of the card, set it to "Other OS', not Linux
3) Disable support for Promise cards in Linux
4) Enable I2O and I2O block devices
5) Make new kernel & reboot
6) With luck, it'll work. Anyway, SX6000's are DAMN SLOW.
I succeeded last time I tried.
Now to get a SX4000 working, that's a much more interesting task ...

Both should work. "Other OS" changes how the promise cards I have map
the IDE controllers and whether the I2O asks the OS for space or not.
Does your BIOS also change the PCI class or pci idents ?

Use 2.4.19 or later. The promise stuff freaks if you do clever cache
hints and older kernels don't know about that

7) Sell the promise card to someone who doesnt know better and buy

SX4000 is i2o or something stranger ?

Well, if I set it to "Linux", the IDE controllers disappear completely
and the I2O fails to initialize. I might have a different firmware,
version, though. It works then with Promise's own sx6000 specific drivers
only.

Hopefully not.

Indeed.

Something very strange. It does XORs in HW, and has two IDE channels but
that's all. And it's completely undocumented. It could be reasonably
fast, though. The chip name is PDC20621.

Either build a kernel with them built in or run mkinitrd with the option

The Red Hat installer builds a wrongly ordered initrd for i2o stuff in
8.0. Thats fixed in the beta but doesn't help you.
Ok Alan i followed your advises and finally i got the i2o_pci module loaded.
But I am still not able to get my card under /dev/i2o/hda.
Any clues?

It looks like it isnt skipping the devices on the raid card
for some reason. That would be a problem. It might work
with "ide2=noprobe ide3=noprobe ide4=noprobe ide5=noprobe ide6=noprobe
ide7=noprobe"

and indeed the i2o firmware on the card seems to have crashed
What kernel are you using at the moment. And can you send me an lspci -v as
well as an lspci -t
