Hi all I'm trying to install a server (Dual PPro) with a Mylex Raidcontroller (DAC960). First I tried the 1.4 _final_basic-cd but there was no SMP-Kernel so I jumped back to the 1.4-rc4-CD which detects the Processors and all hardware (except raid :-)) just fine. When I try to load the raid-module it always segfaults. By the way I had the same results with the gentoo-kernel. Has anyone a gentoo-system running with this card or knows this problem? Thanks you for your help.
