This is where I've got to so far.
The card is a 4-channel ATA RAID device. I believe that the correct
driver is dpti (linux/drivers/scsi/dpti).
I've used kernel-source-2.4.20 and built a kernel-image on my main
machine with the correct drivers included.
I copied the woody CD to hard disk, substituted my new kernel for
.../install/lin24 (which is the kernel used by bf24), unzipped bf24.bin
and mounted it as a loopback and copied /lib/modules/2.4.20 into it.
I then burned a new bootable CD. This boots OK and loads the desired
kernel; the RAID card is detected. However:
dpti0: Trying to reset device
Device reset not supported
Bus reset: SCSI Bus 0: tid 11
Bus reset success
scsi: device set offline - not ready or command retry failed after bus reset: host 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0

And the device cannot be read.
