My promise card as addressed by the i2o device does not seem to get set up correctly during boot or respond once initialized. This card was working fine before the upgrade. I use the following statement in my lilo.conf, as probing the resulting raid drive, removing it seems to have no effect on the 2.6 outcome. append="hde=noprobe hdf=noprobe hdg=noprobe hdh=noprobe hdi=noprobe hdj=noprobe hdc=ide-scsi" lspci and cat /proc/pci (I compiled that in too.) reveal nothing about the card. dmesg from boot says... input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 I2O Core - (C) Copyright 1999 Red Hat Software I2O: Event thread created as pid 299 i2o: Checking for PCI I2O controllers...

Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xcd800000 [0xcdbfffff]. My motherboard is a K7S5A running bios 3/25/2002S My card bios version is currently 1.10.0 but they are up to 1.20.0.27. I am going to hold off on upgrading for now because it didn't seem to solve the two other writers problems, and I'd be happy to test against this older version if you like. As I mentioned two other people have written to the list about this, Matt H. (lkml@lpbproductions.com) and Alex Murphy (murphy@sgtp.samara.ru) I couldn't seem to find a response upon googling. Please CC to odinson@warcloud.net. Thanks to anybody who can help with this. Thank you for your time.
