 |
|
Has anyone been able to get this controller card to work under gentoo?
I have compiled support for promise controller chipsets (the one which this card uses is included) but that didn't help anything. Also tried to load it by passing a line to the kernel at boot, though still nothing. So if anyone has gotten this card working please let me know how. |

What kernel sources [and version] are you using? |

I have the exact same problem with my Ultra TX2 100.
I couldn't get it working with any of the gentoo sources, but it works perfectly with the vainlla sources. There is a bug filed:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2531
What kind of errors do you get when booting? |

I haven't seen any error at all when booting, just that it doesn't load. I can do a cat on /proc/pci and it will show up there, as:
| Code: | | unknown mass storage controller: Promise technology inc. 20265 (rev 2) |
20265 is the chipset number for the card. |

Are you booting from the card? |

| No I am not. That's probably why I haven't seen any errors either =) |

Heh. Bingo! 
Try the vanilla sources, that's what solved it for me. I've tried every version of the gentoo sources (r1 -r7) and not one of them worked with my promise card. From what I have read, the 133 and 100 are next to identical... |

make menuconfig (select everything again)
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
