Hi all:
I have installed Red Hat 8 with 2.4.18-14 ,i2o support as module, but i can
not find my card anywhere.
Here i am sending you my dmesg and my modules.conf .
Notes I have a 120GB in hda where i have installed red hat , and 5 hardrives
in the promise card .

I've got a similar bug report to this in my bug database:

You need to load i2o_pci, then i2o_core then i2o_block.

Hi!
To make a SX6000 card work with Linux:
1) Make sure the card BIOS is enabled.
2) In the BIOS of the card, set it to "Other OS', not Linux
3) Disable support for Promise cards in Linux
4) Enable I2O and I2O block devices
5) Make new kernel & reboot
6) With luck, it'll work. Anyway, SX6000's are DAMN SLOW.
I succeeded last time I tried.
Now to get a SX4000 working, that's a much more interesting task ...

Both should work. "Other OS" changes how the promise cards I have map
the IDE controllers and whether the I2O asks the OS for space or not.
Does your BIOS also change the PCI class or pci idents ?

Use 2.4.19 or later. The promise stuff freaks if you do clever cache
hints and older kernels don't know about that

7) Sell the promise card to someone who doesnt know better and buy

SX4000 is i2o or something stranger ?

Well, if I set it to "Linux", the IDE controllers disappear completely
and the I2O fails to initialize. I might have a different firmware,
version, though. It works then with Promise's own sx6000 specific drivers
only.

Hopefully not.

Indeed.

Something very strange. It does XORs in HW, and has two IDE channels but
that's all. And it's completely undocumented. It could be reasonably
fast, though. The chip name is PDC20621.
