The documentation for this driver seems to be old in v2.4.0-test11-pre5: -------------------- You need to build a new kernel to use this device, even if you want to use a loadable module. Apply the patch to a 2.2.x kernel: # cd linux # patch -p1 <smart2.patch --------------------- Later, there is a section: ----------------- Booting: -------- You'll need to use a modified lilo if you want to boot from a disk array. Its simply a version of lilo with some code added to tell it how to understand Compaq diskarray devices. ----------------- Is this information still correct? Can't I boot from a Compaq disk array with a recent lilo (V 21 from SuSE 7.0)? I would need that feature soon and wonder where to get such a special lilo from. Thanks in advance, and answers please per private mail, as I am not subscribed to this list. mike - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
