I have a six channel Promise ATA It works with RH9 but I wanted to move
to Fedora Core 2 for the better video editing support (and because I
want it latest and greatest if I am going to build such a long term
server).

The have released the source for that controller.
http://www.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=86&category=driver&os=4

I installed FC2 and tried to do a simple  'make /usr/src/linux-2.6....'
and it blew up with a lot of errors. I can supply them if it will help
but what I was looking for was resources on how to compile a module from
source for the 2.6 kernel. Are their any issues with incompatability of
using a source tree that was written for th 2.4 kernel with a 2.6 tree /
compiler(s)?

Thanks,
