I'm installing a Redhat Linux 7.0-respin Server that has...
Intel d815 motherboard
primary-> Seagate 20g (master) hda
secondary-> Seagate 20g (master) hdc
Promise Ultra66 (PDC20262)
primary-> Seagate 20g (master) hdg
secondary-> Seagate 20g (master) hdh
I'm trying to install with the following configuration:
hda
16 ----> /boot
300 ----> swap
10000 ----> part of RAID 5 "/"
hdc
10000 ----> part of RAID 5 "/"
hdg
10000 ----> part of RAID 5 "/"
hdh
10000 ----> part of RAID 5 "/"
"/" on RAID 5 spanned across all 4 Seagates (except for a /boot and a
swap partition will be regular non-raid partitions on hda).
PROBLEM:
- If I use the stock RedHat CD, I get to the graphical installation,
but I can't see the promise card. So I can configure RAID just fine
on the 2 hdd's connected to the motherboard.
- But with the boot disk available from
http://sweb.uky.edu/~mabran3/linux/misc/, it recognizes the Promise
card.
- However, it only boots into text mode for some reason (Any
comments, Mike Brancato?). In text mode, is there anyway to configure
a RAID device? I don't see the "Make RAID device" button anywhere.
Maybe someone could spell out the baby steps if it is indeed possible.
Also: What if I just installed vanilla non-raid Redhat, then compiled
my own kernel and configured RAID after the thought? Is there a
Disk-Druid alternative for Post-Installation that can do RAID?
Thanks everyone for the help,
