I recently bought a 2nd hand Promise DC4030 VL-2 caching controller and put
4Mb on it.  It works fine under Windows 95.  But when I try to start Linux,
I get various error messages saying Linux can't read the superblock, etc. 
With my old controller card, Linux works fine.  I tried recompiling the
kernel with Promise DC4030 support, but it still doesn't work.  I'm using
kernel 2.0.0 and loadlin to start Linux from DOS.  Am I missing something? 
Thanks in advance for any advice.
