[lug] My last hope....and nerve

[Steve A Hart]

I'm still dealing with two Promise UltraTrak RM8000 raid arrays and I'm 
getting desperate to find an answer to my problem.  Here's the rundown 
and hopefully someone out there can help.

Let's keep this simple.   I have a single Promise UltraTrak RM8000 
connected to an LSI logic SCSI card.  The OS is Fedora Core 6 and when 
the OS starts up, all I see is a repeating SCSI bus reset over and over.

I can say with 100% certainty that the problem is NOT the following:
SCSI host ID
The SCSI cable
the terminator (terminated correctly)
LSI card
motherboard of the host system

That only leaves the OS and the promise raid itself.  I know the RM8000 
did run on FC4 running the 2.6.16 kernel but ever since the 2.6.18 
kernels came out it's has not worked.  Now I have it connected to a FC6 
system and still no luck.

I have also tried running the latest knoppix, Fedora 7 live CD, and 
Ubuntu live CD.  All of them see the raid but either they repeat the 
same error as FC6 or they refuse to mount the drive saying it has a bad 
superblock even though I was able to run fdisk and mkfs.ext3 on it with 
no errors.

HELP!!!!  Before I toss the darn things out of the 6th story window.
