If i boot with the patched kernel it sees my tx2200 fasttrack controller,but cant find root fs to continue loading.For some reason,raid array on motherboard sata controller doesnt seem to come up. Need to say,that mirror on motherboard controller is defined with common atacontrol,not the patched one.Maybe this is the reason of the problem ?
