iswraid calling modprobe when scsi statically compiled?
In the top Makefile look for the following lines:
DRIVERS-$(CONFIG_IDE) += drivers/ide/idedriver.o
DRIVERS-$(CONFIG_FC4) += drivers/fc4/fc4.a
DRIVERS-$(CONFIG_SCSI) += drivers/scsi/scsidrv.o These are taken from 2.4.23 patched with libata and iswraid. You can move the line with SCSI before the one with
IDE (the rest does not matter) and recompile.
It worked for me, and i'm booting from 2 Seagate 80Gb HDD's in RAID0 (so no modules allowed for SATA/SCSI/RAID).

It worked perfectly. Thanks.

However I have problems when booting. I'm using GRUB trying to boot directly over ICH5R RAID without any success. It doesn't see any known filesystem in (hd0).
Are you booting directly to RAID disks? I'm using RAID1, it may be a bit different.
What boot loader are you using?

I'm using grub from RedHat 9. I did have redhat installed on my 3rd disk and moved it to my raid array (a lot later). When I installed it, i had to install grub on floppy, boot from floppy, enter command-line and install to HDD from floppy. This is because the grub from redhat (i mean after you booted) doesn't detect the RAID correctly, and still sees hd0 as the primary master disk (hda, my 3rd disk).
Anyway, this is what i've done, and it works. I actually installed it on the ext3 partition (from my raid) , and the MBR is the "standard" one from windows, with the ext3 as primary (so I can reinstall the other OS anytime without reinstalling grub).
