Well my system is working :)
cat /proc/pci
.....
Bus 0, device 9, function 0:
RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc. 20268R (rev 2).
IRQ 5.
Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=4.Max Lat=18.
I/O at 0xa400 [0xa407].
I/O at 0xa800 [0xa803].
I/O at 0xac00 [0xac07].
I/O at 0xb000 [0xb003].
I/O at 0xb400 [0xb40f].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf6000000 [0xf600ffff].
Anyway i have 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 kernel and i compiled
with this options:
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support --->
<*> ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support
IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices --->
[*] PROMISE PDC202{46|62|65|67|68|69|70} support
[*] Special UDMA Feature
[*] Special FastTrak Feature
<*> Support for IDE Raid controllers (EXPERIMENTAL)
<*> Support Promise software RAID (Fasttrak(tm)) (EXPERIMENTAL)
So basicly i access my drives like if i used modeprobe pdcraid
on /dev/ataraid/disc0 (for the first array) ..disc1 for the second array.
What is the error that you are getting ?
regards,
RNuno

Ricardo:
I don't understand how you got it working with
root=/dev/ataraid/disc0/part2
i thought grub excepts d0p2. weird.
Did you do anything special with the kernel?
Are any options you need to compile in. I mean i think i compiled
the correct modules but, who knows.
The weirdest thing is different people says different things.
