If it's scrolling out of the kernel buffer, you can try bumping up the size through the kernel config. The option is under the "Kernel Hacking" section and is CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT. Change it to 17 or 18 to be sure. A reboot with this new kernel should give you a full dmesg afterward, hopefully showing what's wrong with the ataraid stuff. -Walt PS. I don't remember when this took place, but there were some changes to the promise drivers in 2.4 around 2.4.21 I think. There should be drivers for both the older Promise and the newer. I remember always choosing both, complete with pdcraid just to be sure.
