Home-free? Not really. At this point I should be able to load the
os and
use fdisk to partition my new raid. Based on the docs I've been
able to
find, I should be able to address the array at /dev/rd/c0d0. It
doesn't
answer up there, or at c1, c2, etc.
Did the driver boot messages show up when you booted the system? If
they
didn't, then you don't have the driver installed in the kernel. If
they do,
then if you'll send them to me perhaps I'll be able to determine why
the
devices are not being seen.
<<The messages were not coming out ... leading me to believe that
the new kernel wasn't being called. Was correct for once, and discovered
that lilo only re-reads /etc/lilo.conf when it's run from the command line.
So after pointing lilo to the right kernel, the DAC960 driver found the
raid.
I still had a problem with finding modules, and my networking was
broken. Tried:
make dep
make clean
make zImage
make modules
make modules_install
depmod -a
and it didn't work right away, reporting trouble finding modules (I
think related to RH naming directories 2.0.36-0.7 and the compiler
defaulting to 2.0.36.
I found that if you boot with the new kernel right after it's made,
then make modules, modules_install and depmod -a, it was able to find
everything ok.
Thanks for your help.
