Problem with SUSE 9.1 Promise disk ctr in IDE mode.

Hello All, It has the Promise Fastrack but it is disabled, but I still get the message about warning about HD Raid not supported in the 2.6.X kernels. I have other OS's like Free BSD, UnixWare, OpenServer, and windows various versions that all work with out any problem. I am not using this RAID so things should work. 9.0 worked and it also was not using any RAID. 9.1 wheter a new install, upgraded 9.0 all fail and nothing else can be mounted. I really think my problem is with Linux thinking I am using the Promise sued RAID that really isn't RAID. If I want RAID I would use Linux Software RAID on my laptop. I have tried 8 different HD. One I install on a Regular PC Desktop and was working just fine till I moved it back to my Laptop. The only real failure is Linux thinking it has a RAID when it does not and then 9.1 is unable to mount any partitions. What is strange is my SuSE 9.1 CD's are able to mount all the partitions just fine and see them all. It also adds them to fstab but then fails once I boot off the newly installed 9.1 with the RAID failure message. demsg gives the following. ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx ICH5: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:1f.1 PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:1f.1 (0005 -> 0007) ICH5: chipset revision 2 ICH5: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0x2060-0x2067, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x2068-0x206f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio hda: TOSHIBA MK8025GAS, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hdc: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2412, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 PDC20265: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:03:02.0 PDC20265: chipset revision 2 PDC20265: 100% native mode on irq 19 PDC20265: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary PCI Mode Secondary PCI Mode. ide2: BM-DMA at 0x4400-0x4407, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio ide3: BM-DMA at 0x4408-0x440f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio hda: max request size: 128KiB hda: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB), CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100) hda: cache flushes supported hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 hda2: These are all correct.

Now my question is how do I prevent the kernel from thinking the system has RAID as it does not. I believe this is then causing the swap, other linux partition, and windows partitions to be unmountable. I have done a google search and nothing really helpful about the dm-linear error. Any Ideas?
