IDE drive on Promise card

Hello list,    (Bering-uClibc 3.x beta 1)

I have a Promise PDC20267 card installed. The driver
installs OK when referenced in the modules files and
the card is recognised at startup. The attached hard
drive *not* found. Should the IDE system be rescanned
or something similair?

I tried to put the PDC20267 driver in
/boot/lib/modules and reference it in
/boot/etc/modules and back up settings and modules but
the change did not survive a reboot. Is there any way
to back up these files with the LEAF box?

/Lars

Not that I know of, but maybe the driver needs some extra
parameters?

The /boot directory is part of the initrd package, which is
loaded at 
boottime. The initrd package is not an ordinary lrp package.
It's not 
possible to backup the initrd package, but you can easely
change it 
on a linux host.

Basicly the following steps are enough to add modules:

gunzip initrd.lrp
mount -t minix initrd /mnt -o loop
Copy the new modules to the /mnt directory and add them to
the 
modules file
sync
umount /mnt
gzip -9 initrd
mv initrd.gz initrd.lrp

Thank Eric, now it works.

I inserted the pdc202xx_old.o module in initrd
according to your instruction and the hard drive is
now found.

One strange thing: At first the drive was labeled hde
in the boot messages but there were no devices hde in
/dev, only hda, hdb, hdc, hdd (gap) hdg. I moved the
drive cable to the cards other ide connector and the
drive was now labeld hdg in the boot messages and
could be mounted as /dev/hdg1. Why is there no
/dev/hde?

By default the hda, hdb, hdc, hdd and hdg devices are
created. But you can
add devices by adding them to /var/lib/lrpkg/root.blk.mk and
recreate the
initrd.
