Promise RAID in 2.4.22

Hi all,

Originally asked this on debian-user, no responses...

I have a Promise 20376 SATA RAID on my Asus A7V8X mobo. My root partition is mounted on it. The driver is provided by Promise. During the Debian install, I was able to put the ft3xx.o module (built on another machine) onto a floppy, and the installation script created an initrd, which boots, loads the driver, mounts /, and carries on. (So much for Debian's install being
crap!)

This has been great for months, and I've built several versions of 2.4.18 since, which load fine using that initrd. However, I'm now trying to uplevel to 2.4.22, for a 802.11b driver that I'd like to use. Only problem is, on bootup, I get:
<Promise driver "about" line>
scsi1: ft3xx
scsi1: device driver called scsi_done() for a synchronous reset.

Then a hang. This is _exactly_ at the point when the RAID root partition should take over.

I must admit to not being an initrd expert. Do I need to recompile the ft3xx module against the 2.4.22 headers, even though I'm booting from the same initrd as before? And if I do, how do I create a new initrd with that module in it? I've read TFM on initrd, but just can't get it to work, even for such a simple task (load a module, hand root to RAID partition).

I build kernels The Debian Way (i.e. make-kpkg --initrd), but the initrd that is created from that is useless - i.e. doesn't take into account that I need to load ft3xx.o. So usually I point lilo to /boot/initrd.debinstall, which worked for my 2.4.18 kernels.

So, either:
1. My 2.4.18 initrd with ft3xx module that's causing the problem? OR
2. There's a problem in 2.4.22.

Hope I'm making sense to somebody - kernel config diff is attached.

PS A CC would be much appreciated.
