Hi Cookers!
I have MSI K7T266 Pro2-RU with onboard Fasttrak 100 'Light' Controller (MS- 6380) ( http://www.msi.com.tw/products/mainboard/mainboard.php?model=K7T266%20Pro2- RU ) I am using bios v3.3. This devices work just fine on all M$ windows i tested. I don't know why came to this disrigard by Mandrake? When i was installing ML 8.1, 8.2b4 and 8.2 kernel found this controller, here is log: kernel: PDC20265: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 60 kernel: PDC20265: chipset revision 2 kernel: ide: Found promise 20265 in RAID mode. kernel: PDC20265: not 100%% native mode: will probe irqs later kernel: PDC20265: ROM enabled at 0xdffd0000 kernel: PDC20265: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary MASTER Mode Secondary MASTER Mode. kernel: ide2: BM-DMA at 0xdc00-0xdc07, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio kernel: ide3: BM-DMA at 0xdc08-0xdc0f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio kernel: VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 89 kernel: VP_IDE: chipset revision 6 But in DrakX's phase "Setup filesystems" i got this error: I can't read your partition table, it's too corrupted for me :( I can try to go on blanking bad partitions (ALL DATA will be lost !) The other solution is to dissallow to modify the partition table (the error is ask_before_blanking) extended partition: bad magic number Installation stuck here and only rebooting helped. The only way to install was disabling onboard FastTrack controller in bios and not installing Linux-Mandrake on RAID. So after installation i made devices: #!/bin/sh mkdir -p /dev/ataraid cd /dev/ataraid mknod d0 block 114 0 mknod d0p1 block 114 1 mknod d0p2 block 114 2 mknod d0p3 block 114 3 mknod d0p4 block 114 4 mknod d0p5 block 114 5 mknod d0p6 block 114 6 mknod d0p7 block 114 7 mknod d0p8 block 114 8 mknod d0p9 block 114 9 mknod d0p10 block 114 10 mknod d0p11 block 114 11 mknod d0p12 block 114 12 mknod d0p13 block 114 13 mknod d0p14 block 114 14 mknod d0p15 block 114 15 mknod d1 block 114 16 mknod d1p1 block 114 17 mknod d1p2 block 114 18 ..... I suppose it is unpossible to install M8.2 on raid disks at my machine but i hoped i still have chance to mount it manually. The answer os NO besouse when i load module prcraid, it doesn't load properly: modprobe pdcraid modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-2mdk/kernel/drivers/ide/pdcraid.o.gz failed modprobe: insmod pdcraid failed Can anybody help me? ------------------- http://www.email.si
