Try downloading the promise driver source from promise.com.
I did that a few times and the promise drivers tended to work a lot better
back in '02/03 than pdcraid, using sda (and you could boot off them, which
I never got lilo to do on /dev/ataraid)

(select linux, when it offers suse/redhat/other, go for other and it offers
a tarball)

You MAY need to downgrade to a much older 2.4 kernel though.
Try a 2.4.10 if it won't compile properly against .27.
