Promise Fasttrak S150 TX4 sata raid-5
Boot image sata.i from current-tree has no glue on my raid-5 array, instead it is showing me /dev/sda ..b..c..d.
Maybe someone has tried the same/kind of hardware raid-5 with slackware. Have you succeeded with it?

Hi again!
I managed to install slackware. First, my raid-controller is S150 SX4, not TX4.
How I did this; found after 5hour googleing, post from other miserable SX4 user. He was asked from promise support and they had give the source code for linux kernel module. After downloading that, I did what the readme told. Compiled the module source against slackware installer kernel source and that did the trick. With module, the raid-5 array was found under /dev/sda and installation of slackware was possible. Now I have to find out how to boot to that array, because the kernel needs that module to mount /.

.....and now it works. Managed to boot to /dev/sda with compiled module and made with mkinitrd ramdisk for boot-up. Added the module there and voilé.
After all I have to say that promise support for linux _could_ be better...
