Hi everyone.

Sorry, but I have a prob with the TX4 Version of the Promise Fasttrak. (Ya know, the one with 4 channels). With the new gentoo 1.2 iso cd nothing went straight, 'cause somehow it seems the drivers are broken. Many errors and timeouts, fallbacks to udma33, errors with "use 80pin cables" etc. etc.
So after studying the forums I came over to a posting pointing out it has to be the new kernel. I downloaded the 1.1a ISO, booted: Working! No Hardware Probs.

BUT: When I now want to run modprobe ataraid and pdcraid I have teh problem, that pdcraid shows only 2 of the 3 raid-1 drives configured in the bios of the controller. ??? Somehow it seems like pdcraid doesn't sees the second controller chip from the TX4 ('cause the missing two HDs which should be the missing RAID-1 drive are on the controller Channels 3 and 4 as master, the recognized are masters and slaves on channel 1 and 2).

Anyone here to help me? :?:

Thanx!

Grey :wink:
