Has anyone been able to get a SWXCR (DAC960) running on a 2.6.5 kernel?

I have:
AS800 with 4 - 9.1Gb drives in a Raid5 on the SWXCR running on:
Linux finale.pyrobrian.com 2.4.21-alpha-r6 #3 Thu May 20 10:00:06 PDT 2004 alpha
EV56  GNU/Linux

my /etc/aboot.conf  (The default is 0 and is the same as 2)

0:2/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/rd/c0d0p2 "console=ttyS1,9600"
1:2/boot/vmlinuz-r4 root=/dev/rd/c0d0p2 "console=ttyS1,9600"
2:2/boot/vmlinuz-r6 root=/dev/rd/c0d0p2 "console=ttyS1,9600"
3:2/boot/vmlinuz-2.6 root=/dev/host0/target0/part2 "console=ttyS1,9600"

I've tried variations on option 3 but still no luck.

The default RD devices under 2.6.5 don't work and the Kernel panics unable to
remount root as it can't find the root device.

Google searches yield similar results and success stories but no joy for me so
far.

Thanks,
