Success! I moved the new controller to the bottom PCI slot, lower than the existing RAID controller, and Lo! it booteth. Hurrah. So it was confusing the drive devices and trying to use the compaq RAID array driver on the Promise card, which made it choke.
Congratulations. If grub actually loaded off the Compaq 3200 then it was probably looking for /boot/vmlinuz on that Windows drive and got way confused. That's where editing /boot/grub/menu.lst may have helped but isn't necessary now that you have the controllers in their proper order on the PCI bus. Stan
