2.4.18-2.4.19-rc1-ac4 + Promise SX6000 + i2o

[Viktors Rotanovs <Viktors@Rotanovs.com>]

Hi,

I've found numerious reports that Promise SX6000 works fine with
2.4.18+ kernels, and tried it with 2.4.18 and 2.4.19-rc1-ac4 kernels
with i2o support.

Here are the results:

2.4.18: finds controller, but doesn't find disk device on it.
2.4.19-rc1-ac4: loads i2o_block and i2o_core fine and doesn't load
i2o_pci. When I try to load i2o_pci manually, it shows a lot of
timeouts.

I seem to have PDC20276 chip (if i'm not mistaken) marked as new
by Alan Cox.

OS type on the RAID is set to Other.

When I try to run original driver Promise's driver instead of i2o on
2.4.18, it starts showing SCSI timeouts after some time when working
under heavy load.

I use RAID with ReiserFS.

Thanks for any help and have a nice day!

Best Wishes,
Viktors
