CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD=y

I have never compiled a kernel that worked and I have no time to start
now. :-/

Ahh geez, it's in the default compile.

Open mc
cd /proc
scroll down to config.gz and hit enter
F7 - Search on offboard

As I would have no knowledge as how this would end up doing thing, I had
no intention to change anything. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

However I looked (must be the first time I actualy enter /proc. The
thing seems to be as is above.

All that does is prove it to yourself that it's enabled as it is in every
"Stock" kernel supplied with *every* distro I've seen in the last two
years.

Well, I have no way of verifying this, so I will take your word for it.

IOW, you need to do nothing but remember Linux is the child of Linus who
built the KERNEL - Seems like that might be important knowledge of to me.

No idea what the above means.

Sigh...If it was made in the last 6 or 7 years (maybe more, I forgot)
it's EIDE (PATA), SCSI or SATA if it's a drive that has spinning
platters.

I always called them IDE and people where I bought them sold be HD's
that do work. I know it isn't SCSI and it isn't SATA, so to me it is IDE
and it works.

You aren't running an MFM drive are you :-)

Well, I don't know what that is, so perhaps.

hdparm -I /dev/<XXX> |less
where XXX = Your HD

As I said, I am not seriously interested in it.

How in the world did you ever install the Promise controller?

shutdown, open box, enter card, connect cables, close box, boot. Is
there another way?

ASs you can tell, I am completely a n00b when it comes to hardware. When
I need something, I look wether it is suported under Linux, buy it and
that is about it. Apart from my WinTV PVR, everything just worked out of
the box.

This is only my second issue (the other being the TV card) where I have
issues with my hardware and as it worked before, I am not sure where to
look. I even bought a new DVD burner, because I tought it was a hardware
issue. Bought new discs, because I thought that might have been the
problem.
