Thank you for your answer. I always use the old .config. I use EXT3 filesystem with the drivers compiled in. I have no ramdisk, because I have compiled in the Promise drivers directly into the kernel. As written before, the hardisk is recognized correctly, also with the correct size. I have photographed the kernel messages during bootup and can see, that the SATA hardisk is attached as sda. It is strange, that I'm still unable to mount to SDA9, like in Kernel 2.4.18
The problem must be afterwards, after the Promise driver is being loaded.
