That's what I did. BLK_DEV_PCD202XX_NEW sees the card but not the drives. BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_OLD sees the card and the drives but not the fact that they are mirrored. IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO is set in either case. I'll stay with 2.4.20, for now.
Maybe the kernel guys gave up on Promise beyond using it just as an IDE card? Oh well. I guess that's what I get for trying to go cheap.
