| Hi!
I have a box whose board model name is PSCH-L. I don't want to mention
its manufacturer's name due to their bad service quality - they gave me
only a simple anonying answer: "That box supports only Redhat 9.
Sorry!"
That board glues two chips:
Promise PDC20319 controlling 4 SATA slots for hard disks.
Intel FWE6300ESB controlling 2 SATA slots for hard disks.
The board also burns a firmware called FastTrack or FastBuild whose
exact name I don't remember. I can reboot and write it down if asked.
That firmware can configure the disks connected to Promise as RAID.
My problem is that I can't find the devices corresponding to either of
the two chips, with or without 0+1 RAID is configured:
# fdisk /dev/sda
Unable to open /dev/sda
Same to /dev/sdb, sdc, sdd, sde, etc...
Drivers "Promise SATA SX4" and "ata-piix/ICH" are compiled in the boot
kernel. This is the excerpt from the output of dmesg:

"fdisk -l" lists nothing except /dev/hda1.
Where are the right /dev/ for these SATA disks? Your helps are much
appreciated.
