Hm.  I am still doing some research on this message.  But since you
are trying to use software RAID, you may be out of luck:

The problem is that the software RAID driver for Linux is not the same
as the one Promise wrote for Windows.  This may be a case where the
DOS boot disk is your best option.

At least, I *think* that is what is going on.

On the other hand, there is a kernel configuration option called
"PDC202XX_FORCE".  That may be what this person is talking about:

  http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=1xWO5-7Dy-25%40gated-at.bofh.it

So we could try enabling that, although I do not (yet) understand
exactly what it does.

The whole "2.6 kernel + Promise software RAID" thing is just
confusing.

Please send me the output of "lspci -n -s 02:05.0", so I will know
exactly what device we are dealing with.

If I roll a new Linux boot disk, can you test it for us?
