Hi,

        I purchase a Promise SuperTrak100 RAID controler and
installed on a PIII dual with latest kernel 2.4.3. It didn't
work, so I searched the linux-kernel achives and found an exact
discription of my problem by David Priban on Feb. 27 2001
(http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0102.3/0037.html).
Andrew Morton and Alan Cox gave an hand. I follow hte hists
and advance a bit, and as David, now I get a bunch of I/O errors
on mounted array. After this there was a sugestion of timing problems,
but the issue ended with no solution.

        Could any one help me, please!
        Let me thank you in advance for any help.

        I have no problem starting the i2o_block modules, I can
run a create a partition, but when I try to make a file system
I get a lot of I/O erros:

> modprobe i2o_block
> fdisk /dev/i2o/hd/disc0/disc
> mkreiserfs /dev/i2o/hd/disc0/part1
