kernel 2.6.10: promise sx6000 not detected by i2o_block

[Juergen Krause]

Hi!

I am happy to see that kernel 2.6 supports the promise sx6000,
but my controller isn't detected by the kernel.

Infos about my computer:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+
ASUS A8V Deluxe

Infos about controller:
Promise SX6000
firmware: 1.20.0.27

the attached 5 harddrives are configured as 1 raid5 group, so I load following i2o modules

i2o_core
i2o_proc
i2o_block

syslog entries when i2o modules are loaded:

Dec 25 21:28:26 server I2O Core - (C) Copyright 1999 Red Hat Software
Dec 25 21:28:26 server i2o: max_drivers=4

Dec 25 21:28:26 server block-osm: registered device at major 80

I running gentoo linux with udev-050, 

The controller works fine under linux 2.4 with the promise driver (1.34.0.1) and under windows xp.

Do I anything wrong or is the Promise sx6000 support still broken?
