Hi All, I'm building a server at work. It will have win2000 on it. :( But for the burn in phase, I'm wanted to put on linux to play. It's a dual p3-933 xeon, 2gb of memory, 6 ultra160 18.2GB 15k rpm harddrives in a raid 10 configuration. Obviously something fun to play on. The Ultra160 RAID Controller is an Adaptec (With some DPT in there) 3200S controller. When I boot up the mandrake CD, it says no drives found. I've tried several of the drivers it offers, however no love. I've tried redhat 6.1, as well. Suse reports that I have about 10 different partitions ranging in sizes of 253mb, 9gb and 25gb. They are also on many different controllers: hda, hdb, hdc, sda, and sdb. I actually have 1 RAID controller, 1 on board adaptec ultra160 scsi controller (with the cdrom drive), and an ide controller (with an ide cdrom drive temporarily). I can boot off a dos 7 disk, and see the drive just fine. The controller remaps BIOS Int 13h to itself, which apparently dos uses. I was able to create a 54gb fat32 partition and format it. Dos likes it just fine. How can I get a linux installer to recognize an Int 13 device? While booting off of the CD, with no available temporary harddrive? I could put in an ide harddrive temporarily, but I want to install on to the Ultra 160, Raid 0+1, 15krpm logical drive for obvious reasons. No, sorry, I can't bring this to the clinic! I picked up a sweet all metal steel case from california pc (www.calpc.com, 13-bay rackmount chassis). Thanks, Cory
