Ok, i was trying to make my promise card work and i noticed this:

bash-2.05b# fdisk -l

Wtf! what ever happend to /dev/hda1 etc.. I'm thinking theres something in my kernel, vanilla 2.4.20, that i forgot to compile because even tho i have my Promise and Ide raid enabled and it shows up while booting i have no /dev/ataraid. I know that last part about the raid was a bit vauge, but right now i'm just really scratching my head with all this /dev/ide/host0/blsdafl;fasdlksdflkfsd nonsense. Any thoughts?

Also, one more minor thing thats been bugging me, i can't compile promise raid support as a module in menuconfig, it only compiles built in to the kernel.. and does not seem to be working for me.. anyone had any similar experiences? i'm using 2.4.20 vanilla and have tried 2.4.20-ck also with the same results.

Edit: figured out the no /dev/ataraid part but still stumped as to why all my disk are labled so weird, for example the raid partiton is /dev/ataraid/disc0/part1 instead of the usuall /dev/ataraid/d0p1 .

i think the raid /dev naming is part of devfsd, there should be symlinks from /dev/ataraid/disc0/part1 to /dev/ataraid/d0p1, if there isnt check in devfsd.conf for raid settings.
