Hello Jeff & linux-ide ppl,

I've tried to load this driver after installing openfiler distribution
(kernel 2.6.26.8-1.0.11.smp.gcc3.4.x86.i686), but it complains about
xfermode and does not export any drive to /dev.

I've tried JBOD and RAID5 on promise Ctrl-F boot utility so far. Which
mode should I enable on the controller to make it work even without
hardware acceleration, which I know it's unsupported right now.

Drop me a line if any of you wish to do some testing on it, this machine
is not in production right now.

Thanks !
Roman

PD: Here's the ticket I opened on openfiler, if you want further details:

And here's a relevant dmesg output:
