also my opinion

kick out that promise stuff and get yourself a 3ware controller.

it is 1,5 time more expensive but has alot more features and is a lot more
reliable.

all you need to get the 3ware running is the normal bf24 kernel.
after installing with bf24 you can get yourself another 2.4.x kernel with
apt-get install ...

just dont waste your time with promise. i did it because i didnt want to
listen. dont make the same mistake
