I think I have but i will let you all be the judge.
please find attached my .config renamed to config.txt for the sake of window$

Nothing strange in it...

Quoted 11 lines

also find attached a normal bootup as of 1 hour ago using kernel 2.5.44 I have tried the following:
re-downloaded the kernel souces in both tar/bz2 and tar/gzip formats both archives were the same, natually
reconfigured both to no avail.
what I do not understand is that it does not detect the 2 devices i have on the promise controller, or hda, hdb
it does find hdc and hdd and it does seem to detect the via 8235 controller as well.
what could possibly be wrong here?

It looks to me like that 2.5.44 also believes that you have two HDDs connected to VIA, and none to Promise. Did not just 2.4.20 swapped hda/hdb with hdc/hdd?

It would be really handy if you could write down logs from 2.4.20. Or capture them with serial console.

You can also boot 2.5.x, look at which address your via lives, and then use ide0=... parameters. I believe that via should be configured for primary IDE, so try booting 2.4.20 with ' ide0=0x1f0,0x3f6,14'.

I wanted to ask about this but forgot....

 Nov 29 18:14:24 Darkstar kernel: PDC20276: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS)
                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

now, this works in 2.4.19, and i can use the devices.
in 2.5.44 its detected as such, didnt realise until I tried to use my zip drive, which is attached to it.
these devices arent disabled, altho it says they are... there isnt really a 'bios' to enable them in. it just detects the devices at boot.
im going to try to write some stuff down when it boots, as i dont have a serial cable to monitor its activities.
but, definately interesting.
