iskash da kazhesh ATA RAID-a... nqmash scsi-ta, da ?
opita li s boot option da mu ukazhesh kyde e root fs-a, t.e. 4e e na ATA, a ne 
na SCSI ?
linux root=/dev/hdaXY (li beshe???)
osven tova opitaj da potyrsish nqkakva boot option za zabrana na SCSI, ili 
mahni tozi support ot kernel-a, stoto nali tova e ATA  ... za da ne se izlita 
kernel-a s SCSI RAID's ...

Vsystnost vanilla kernel-a (2.4.19 pone) poddyrzha ATA RAID Promise 
FastTrak(tm) (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID_PDC) , ne sym go probval no maj trebe da 
raboti ... Build edin takyv kernel image (vanila ili rh) s takyf support na 
druga machina i posle si napravi boot disketa s mkboot ili mkbootdisk tam 
kvoto imash, root disketa ne ti e neobhodima stoto ti ste gepish root fs ot 
hardovete ... (samo vizh kak s tozi mkboot/mkbootdisk script ste ukazhesh 
kyde e root fs-a ili s boot option ste mu go podavash i override-vash) 

opita li s Knoppix da boot da vidish dali ste se spravi s tozi ataraid ;-)
i mount fs'es ot hdd'es i edit na volq ...
