Format/Reinstall/Kernel Recompile/Promise

Well, it happened. I was doing world upgrades which were unneeded and I accidentally upgraded the compiler. Some programs then wouldn't compile. Reinstalled old compiler. Nothing would compile. Nautilus crashed. Started getting missing library errors for libstdc++.so.5

....Formatted my / partition.

In recompiling my kernel I couldn't figure out how to get my other hard drives which are on the promise 20276 component to mount. When i tried to mount then I was getting invalid block device.

Finally realized I didn't have the promise drivers loaded in the kernel...installed the promise drivers and still no luck....continuing....
