Hello,
	I am having trouble getting my RAID 5 array to work on four channels.
It works fine on two channels, but when I configure the system to use
the second controller it will not find the disks on the second
controller.

	My working configuration is:

		/dev/hde
		/dev/hdf
		/dev/hdg
		/dev/hdh

	My non-working config is:
		/dev/hde
		/dev/hdg
		/dev/hdi
		/dev/hdk

	Where hde-hdh are on my PCI promise controller, and hdi-hdl are on my
onboard HighPoint 366 controller. (The same array worked on just the
Highpoint 366 controller as well)

	System info Linux-2.6.8.1 non-SMP. 

	The following is my /etc/raidtab (which is set up for the non-working
config, but works with the working config...)

raiddev /dev/md0
        raid-level              5
        nr-raid-disks           4
        persistent-superblock   1
        parity-algorithm        left-symmetric
        chunk-size              128

        device          /dev/hde
        raid-disk       0
        device          /dev/hdg
        raid-disk       1
        device          /dev/hdi
        raid-disk       2
        device          /dev/hdk
        raid-disk       3

	Any ideas?
	Thanks,
	Nate
