Anything non-straightforward that a newbie should be aware of? hmmm... will this work?! for me it did not work! i have tried a 'DawiControl' RAID-Controller which uses the SIL0860 chip. one time gentoo live cd detects it correctly and loads 'ataraid' and 'silraid', but neither a raid0 nor a raid1 array were detected correctly. the other times the livecd did not detect the card and manually loading the modules did not work! it seems that the sil- module is in an early state and not working well. further i have noticed, that the card claims to be ide0 and any linux installed on a hd that is connected to the onboard ide ports will no more boot correctly, because the names of the partition will also shift from hda, hdb, .... whatever... to others... so your root-partition changes and will not be mounted correctly... a highpoint card will work well... (will be detected correctly, does detect raid-arrays and does not claim to be ide0) maybe you have a different experiences, ... so let me know! much fun, martin > > Thanks. > > --Erv Young > > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list >
