Promise 20269 & 20268 [ Ultra133 & Ultra100 ]


It seems like almost nobody tried this before, since there's nothing I can find about it on the net, but i'm actually doing it. :P

Ok, added kernel support for both devices.

Here's some part of the kernel log, which says the cards get detected & disks also.

filmfreakz.nl/crew/kern.txt

[can't post urls yet]

Now, after this, there's nothing said about the disks, only /dev/hda and /dev/hdbx get mounted succesfully (onboard ide), the rest isn't listed anywhere (they're in fstab (hde and hdf anyway, hdi and hdj still need to get a filesystem).

What I personally think are the "hdi: unknown partition table" messages... Once in linux, the devices are unknown and can't be mounted or whatever. It seems like they don't exists.

The /dev/hde and /dev/hdf seem to exist, but can't get mounted.

Someone has any idea on this problem? The problem came after I added the Ultra100 TX2 card, (20268) and 2 new disks. Any help will be respected!

It sure looks to me like the drives were detected. These aren't raid arrays are they? Can you use cfdisk on the drives and see there partition tables?
