Maddy888,
Code:
dmesg|grep raid
Promise Fasttrak(tm) Softwareraid driver 0.03beta: No raid array found
looks like the wrong driver. Your RAID card does hardware raid.

You don't say which kernel you are using but in 2.6.10 the one you want can be found under
Code:
Device Drivers
-> SCSI device support
   -> SCSI low-level drivers
      -> Serial ATA (SATA) support
         -> Promise SATA TX2/TX4 support

You will also need to build the SCSI disk options.

Maddy888,

You need to provide more information than
Code:
don't work
Please describe how it breaks, post the error message(s) verbatum.
A listing of the contents of
Code:
/boot
and
Code:
/boot/grub/grub.conf
will be useful.
Please copy and paste, copy typing is error prone.
The commands you want are
Code:
ls -a /boot
less /boot/grub/grub.conf

Maddy888,

I suspect you have other probems but first things first.
What sort of RAID are you trying to use, or are you just using the FastTrak S150 SX4 as a controller for SATA drives?

For a RAID setup, this line is wrong (for several reasons)
Code:
kernel /kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3


/dev/hda3 refers to the 3rd partition on the primary master IDE drive.
Since the FastTrak S150 SX4 SATA controller is in the SCSI kernel branch, its drives appaer as SCSI, so for a non RAID install, /dev/sda3 would more likely be right.
If you are using software RAID, you will be using /dev/mdX to refer to your root filesystem because its a Multiple Device (md) the numbers are up to you when you write /etc/raidtab.

Maddy888,

I think that technical support person doesn't know anything about linux. They didn't even say what they do support.
Please post your kernel config file and tell us exactly what kerenl it is for. Normally its in /usr/src/linux/.config
