How did you install? Was the Promise card present during the installation?
I've done this a couple of times, and my grub.conf looks like:
title Red Hat Linux-up (2.4.18-3)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/sda2 ide0=0x1f0,0x3f6,14
ide1=0x170,0x376,15 ide2=0 ide3=0 ide4=0 ide5=0 ide6=0 ide7=0
ide8=0 ide9=0
While my fstab looks like:
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/local/httpd /local/httpd ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
And my device.map looks like:
(hd0) /dev/sda
The only problem I've had is trying to use up2date to update the kernel.
I couldn't get it to work :-(
