Hi Len,Thank You! Thank you! Thank you! Using the kernel from sid did the trick! I guess I was too focused on having to build a kernel to step back from the problem and see that. Also the kernel-image to linux-image tripped me up so I didn't see them in apt-cache search.
I now can see the 3ware device as /dev/sdb but I seem to have lost the CDROM drive again. I suppose the 2.6.15 wants the BIOS settings changed again or I have run up against the problem that the CDROM seems to only run as a slave device on the PATA IDE bus.
Any idea what causes the: ata1(1): WARNING: ATAPI is disabled, device ignored. below: SCSI subsystem initialized libata version 1.20 loaded. ata_piix 0000:00:1f.2: version 1.05 ata_piix 0000:00:1f.2: combined mode detected (p=0, s=1) GSI 17 sharing vector 0xB1 and IRQ 17 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.2[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.2 to 64 ata1: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x1F0 ctl 0x3F6 bmdma 0x1470 irq 14ata1: dev 1 cfg 49:0f00 82:4210 83:4000 84:4000 85:0000 86:0000 87:4000 88:0407

I found this link and it seems pretty clean and straight forward.http://www.dominik-epple.de/Sarge-Linux_2.6.14-yaird/ and I have followed these steps except I'm using 2.6.15, ie: Backporting yaird, texi2html, make, kernel-packageI spent all day going through menuconfig and follow an example config file the Andrew sent me.You can just skip building a new kernel and use the one from sid. You only need to get yaird and such rebuilt and installed, then you can use the prebuilt package for the kernel from sid.But when I try to compile the kernel it looks like it thinks it should be trying to cross compile. I'm wonder if it is somehow confused by the packages I backported?You are running amd64 right? Len Sorensen
