i added a promise S150 SX4 sata controller, added an array using the bios of the card... then when i reboot and try to boot my gentoo it hangs on ACPI: setting ELCR to 0200 from 1e20

i will paste a part of my kernel config:
#
# SCSI low-level drivers
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_3W_XXXX_RAID=y
CONFIG_SCSI_3W_9XXX=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_7000FASST is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_ACARD is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_AHA152X is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1542 is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_AACRAID is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX_OLD is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_AIC79XX is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_DPT_I2O=m
# CONFIG_SCSI_IN2000 is not set
# CONFIG_MEGARAID_NEWGEN is not set
# CONFIG_MEGARAID_LEGACY is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_AHCI=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SVW is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_PROMISE=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_QSTOR=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SX4=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIS=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_ULI is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VIA=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VITESSE is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_BUSLOGIC is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_DMX3191D=y
CONFIG_SCSI_DTC3280=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_EATA is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_FUTURE_DOMAIN is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_GDTH is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_GENERIC_NCR5380 is not set

i would not know why the system doesnt boot. i dont see any errors :S

after removing the card system boots fine

the array is setup in raid5 containing 4 300gb maxtor disks

thx in advance!!
