OK. It seems that I've solved this. In the case it will be interesting to anybody - here are some key points:
1. RedHat driver from Promise (FastTrack.o) is for RedHat kernel 2.4.18-3 2. My Debian box kernel is 2.4.18 3. depmod -e FastTrack.o gives me no unresolved symbols. 4. cp /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/scsi/advansys.o /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/scsi/advansys_.o (just in case) 5. cp FastTrack.o /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/scsi/advansys.o 6. insmod -f advansys (a lot of messages here) 7. fdisk /dev/sda1 8. mk2efs /dev/sda1 9. mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /raid Voila - it works. Feeling myself a cool hacker ;-) 10. Some steps to have it loaded on boot - it is not so complex.
