Yes it does see the raid disks fine, someone suggested seeing if things will boot from that controller, and I pulled /dev/hda, and put it on the raid controller by it self, and it did start to boot (till it didnt find a file system on hda! I have tested the hardware under windows, and it does function. so im pretty sure its not a hardware failure. Things Ive done recently: Lots of kernels, 2.6.10, 2.6.9 mostly. Tried lilo append lines: hd?=noprob, noacpi, ... tried hooking a bootable hard drive on the raid controller, and booted system. Ive tried the kernel option for ide drives on ide raid controllers. ive tried sata_sis. Ive tried gen2dmraid, gentoo, slackware, knopppix cd's Ive pulled the raid drives out, if had them in as a raid (in the bios), and as regular disks... one thing remains consistant. I cant boot, I cant seem to find disks that are on the sis 180 raid controller. when the output of ataraid changes, then I will see devices.
