[Debian] PDC20276 array not detected?
I'm having a little trouble with my old GA-7VAXP motherboard, its RAID controller and Debian (2.6.18-4-k7). I've created a RAID0 array (they're old disks that aren't going to store anything important) and while Debian can correctly detect the individual drives in the array, it doesn't detect the array itself. Here is the relevant stuff from dmesg:
Code:

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get the array to work correctly? All other tools (Partition Magic etc.) I've tried correctly detect a single array of 80GB. Also, go easy on me please :newbie:, I'm still new Debian... some main points:
- My RAID Controller is the "Promise PDC20276".
- The RAID is configured in the RAID BIOS and is not software RAID.
- Debian is detecting the drives that make up the array, not the array itself. As above, any other disk reading utilities I try correctly see the array.
- I haven't installed any drivers - what you see above is simply what happened when I enabled the RAID controller and booted Debian (ie. the module used is possibly out of date, but I'm unsure of how to check/do anything about it).
