problems with PCI IDE controller

Hi,

I got some problems with using an IDE controller with my C240 (same in my C360). The controller itself works best in x86 architectures. It's a non RAID controller produces by Promise. The kernel is a linux-2.4.20-pa14 whith all the IDE stuff built as kernel modules. Earlier replies to my problem says that it could be a problem with the probing of the intel's default IO ports for IDE controllers.

Here is what I did: Building the kernel - booting the system - doing a modprobe -k ide-disk (from remote) - pressing Transfer Of Control - interrupting boot sequence and typing ser pim. And here is the output of the console: (thank You for helping - Joerg)

I notice you have devfs compiled in. I can't recommend this course of action, though I coubt it's the root of the problem.
