When reading through this, my first impulse is to say that /dev/hdl isn't
correct. When I recently built a raid5 using 3 promise cards, I found
that in spite of the kernel detecting hdk hdm and hdo, these devices were
NOT built in /dev. In fact, I had to dig into the ide header file to even
find the proper MAJOR node settings for the devices.
If you have not already rebuilt the machine, I would be interested in
seeing the output of a 'ls -l /dev/hdl' command.
Just some addition input for you..
