Subject: Promise SX-6000 and kernel 2.6.5

Hello!!!

I am sorry for the letter, but allow to address to you with my problem.
Has bought Promise SX-6000 Pro the controller and has established on him
Linux Redhat. All - is excellent!! Has updated a nucleus for 2.6.5 - I
can not pick up the controller in any way. Source codes of a nucleus
taking place on your site do not approach for 2.6 nucleus :(

Can you know the possible decision of my problem??

Yours faithfully and hope, Alexey.

P.S.1 firmware drivers for 2.4.x kernel download is
http://www.eventus.de/linux.html

P.S.2

In make menuconfig has disconnected support of all PDC Promise. Has
included all I2O devices in a nucleus.

ns linux # cat .config|grep I2O
# I2O device support
CONFIG_I2O=y
CONFIG_I2O_PCI=y
CONFIG_I2O_BLOCK=y
CONFIG_I2O_SCSI=y
CONFIG_I2O_PROC=y


dmesg send 0 i2o controllers

I can also confirm that this card doesn't work in 2.6 when using the generic
i2o drivers.
