But any of the kernel I used (2.4.18 & 2.4.21 + RedHat 7.2 or wrapper
CD) gives me the same error:
<<
	DAC960 RAID Drivers Version 2.4.11 of 11 October 2001
...
DAC960#0 Unable to map Controller Register Window for Controller at
DAC960#0 PCI Bus 0 device 6 Function 0 I/O Adress Qx9480 PCI Address 0x0
>>

The card is identified as a Mylex D040340-4-DEC wchich should be a
DAC960PD-3 according to the Cross-Refernce List.
It is although seen as "PCI Symbios Logic C810 Mylex DAC960 / Digital
Controler SWXCR-Ex Raid" 
The firmware is 2.73.

Do you have any idea why I have such error ?  

Is there raid config that are more suitable than others ? Raid 0 ? raid
1 ? Raid 0+1 ?
With a better support ?

I don't know what to do ??
Rebuild the raid config ? forget about this card ?

If you have a last idea before I resigned and break the raid config...

Thanks, Pierre.
