In my case I have the native mobo controller (VIA 8233), the on-mobo HPT372, and a Promise UltraDMA66. The Promise is hd[a-d], the VIA is hd[e-h], and the HPT is hd[i-l]. I still do not understand what you mean by ignoring hd[e-h]. Thinking that hd[e-h] would always be the HPT is, at the least, a big assumption that is not true for most systems. -- Eugenio Diaz, BSEE/BSCE Linux Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I realize this is a rather weird configuration, and that the LILO/grub setup for such a thing is probably unheard of, but it should be possible. -Preston Cody

Thanks. it should be somewhat easy to fix, if you give me some info: - the output of "lspcidrake -v" - doesn't it work if you "modprobe hptraid" on console 2 at the beginning of install (say, the language selection step) - what are the names for these devices, sda ? what do you get in /proc/scsi/scsi
[Cooker] plz add hptraid to drivers list
Hello, I have just spent many hours trying to make mandrake work w/ an hpt372 raid controller. I even made a driver disk with custom-compiled drivers to load up in expert mode, but the insmod failed. I know you can modprobe hptraid from the console, but in order to install mandrake it needs to be in the list of available drivers to load. (Incidently gentoo worked flawlessly after modprobe sd_mod and modprobe hptraid, it found the raid.) If there's some step I'm missing here that'll make it work, please let me know. Thanks. -Preston Cody
