The previous version of Mandrake (8.2) allowed me to use the drives (although not the RAID features built into the motherboard).
Can someone please add support back into the Mandrake 9.0 kernel so I can access those drives.. I used them to backup data from the 8.2 version. It's the Promise GA 7VRXP main board. There is an open source driver (developed by Red Hat) that allows access and a proprietary driver from Promise Technologies. Matthew
