RE: Error mounting root fs on 72:01 using Promise FastTrak TX2000 (PDC20271)

[Nicklas Bondesson]

Actually the 2.4.18 seems to be the only one working. I'm sure someone out
there have the proper fix for this. Who should I talk to in order to get
this fixed? I'm willing to help out in any way I can.

Not sure what else to tell you. If the pdcraid driver is compiled into the
kernel, you'll get a message about it during boot, even if it can't find all
the drives. I no longer use the 2.4 kernel series (or pdcraid), so I'm
afraid I'm out of ideas. Maybe somebody else on the list has some other
things to try. Sorry.
