Hi! I'm having the same problem. Configuring the Array with the Compaq Smart Array Disk is pretty easy. Booting with Debian Compact Kernel is easy too. The Kernel includes the Smart Array Driver and is detecting both controller and array (at least in my case).
My problem is how do I tell the Debian installer that /dev/ida/c0d0 is a valid hard disk? I'm only getting the message 'No hard disk found'. After installing Debian onto a local Scsi disk I don't have any problems to access the array. cu andreas --- If you wrap the Internet around every person on the planet and spin the planet, software flows in the network. - Eben Moglen's Metaphorical Corollary to Faraday's Law Lee Elliott <[EMAIL PROTECTED] An: Nathan Ollerenshaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "debian-user@lists.debian.org" rve.co.uk> <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Gesendet von: leee Kopie: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thema: Re: Compaq Smart2 Array 04.04.01 00:19 Nathan Ollerenshaw wrote: > > Ok, > > the driver definately on there and the smart2 array controller is detected, > but the debian installer doesn't find it after the keyboard configuration. > > It should be /dev/ida/c0d0 but opening an interactive shell and trying to > find it, it's not there. > > Does anyone here have any experience with this? > > Nathan.

I've only had to install NT on Compaqs but before I even start installing the OS I have to configure the array controller i.e. tell it which spindles should be used for each of the logical drives, and what raid mode to use for each logical drive. The Smart Array configuration utility is on the Compaq SmartStart CD - it's bootable. HTH LeeE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
