Contact > [EMAIL PROTECTED] well, do you mean the controller integrated in the southbridge or the promise one? for the onboard i gather that it works only as plain sata (and only whith kernel 2.4.22+) read this for install (you could also build a linux sw raid with the disks) http://www.e-aiyama.com/~toshi/Computer/Linux/SATA.html (or, alternativly try to build/modify your own bootflopps: as i had to do it once: grab the kernel source you need, the boot & the root disc, build your kernel, replace the kernel image on the rescue disc and uncompress the root image with gzip, i think it was, replace the modules directory, compress it again and install with it.... (or but the modules in a drivers.tgz file to install ....it was about 2 years back....you should find some help about this topic somewhere or somebody else can help you with the details... ) for the promise one (it seems to be a pdc20278?) i found this: http://www.antgel.co.uk/compsci/linux/promise_raid.shtml (it seems you'd have to stick to the partly open source driver from promise) I do not use one of these but i hope i could help... yours, Albert -- Albert Dengg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
