A couple of years ago I had the same problem with a 3ware 8506-4LP SATA RAID card. I was attaching 4 300GB Maxtor drives. I ended up having to update the BIOS on the drives before they were recognized by the card. Check with the drive manufacturer to see if they have an updated BIOS (Maxtor even sent me a SATA card to do the BIOS updates with).

Re: 3ware woes, seem to be missing vital
Different this time, I promise! After much mucking about, the 3ware 9500 is working beautifully as I would expect and is sitting there with a nice fat 750GB LVM. But I can't get 3DM2 (3ware Disk Management daemon mk. 2) to run. It complains about not being able to start a listening socket...? Did you try http://localhost:888 ever? You might have to do https instead of http. Having installed 3dm2 multiple times on what I thought were identical machines, sometimes you need the 's' and sometimes you don't. It's really random. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just a shot in the dark, but have you tried the following: cp Makefile.oth Makefile make Most of the commercial drivers I've worked with don't require a configure or anything; they just make assumptions and expect you to have everything in place. If all their assumptions are valid for your system, then make works. Also, you might take a look at their drivers for the 2.6 kernel. I noticed there's a Readme.txt file in that tarball. It has 2.6 specific instructions, so it wouldn't work verbatim for 2.4, but if you translate a couple of things you might be able to get somewhere.

Re: 3ware woes
Gah, hate replying to myself, but there you go. Does anyone have any idea how I compile the 3w-9xxx source for 2.4.19? I've gotten the 2.4 source tarball from 3ware's website, which includes the following files: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/3w-9xxx/driver$ ls 3w-9xxx.c 3w-9xxx.h 3w-9xxx_fw.h Makefile.oth Makefile.rh So, the usual .c and .h plus what I presume to be the firmware, plus two makefiles; one for Redhat, and one for everything else...? Perhaps unsurprisngly, there's no documentation anywhere I can find, and being the kind of person who's never done this before (unless you count the ivtv module, which actually has a working makefile), I'm a bit lost. Running make 3w-9xxx gives the following output: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/3w-9xxx/driver$ make 3w-9xxx cc 3w-9xxx.c -o 3w-9xxx In file included from /usr/include/asm/smp.h:18, from /usr/include/linux/smp.h:17, from /usr/include/linux/sched.h:23, from /usr/include/linux/module.h:10, from 3w-9xxx.c:61: /usr/include/asm/mpspec.h:6: mach_mpspec.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/include/linux/smp.h:17, from /usr/include/linux/sched.h:23, from /usr/include/linux/module.h:10, from 3w-9xxx.c:61: /usr/include/asm/smp.h:73: mach_apicdef.h: No such file or directory In file included from 3w-9xxx.c:76: /usr/include/linux/blk.h:1: warning: #warning this file is obsolete, please use instead In file included from 3w-9xxx.c:86: /usr/include/asm/irq.h:16: irq_vectors.h: No such file or directory 3w-9xxx.c:89: sd.h: No such file or directory 3w-9xxx.c:90: scsi.h: No such file or directory 3w-9xxx.c:91: hosts.h: No such file or directory 3w-9xxx.c:2261: scsi_module.c: No such file or directory make: *** [3w-9xxx] Error 1 My cursory glance through the makefile makes it looks like everything is there where it should be, but obviously something is amiss. Of course, what I'm really looking to do is to patch the kernel source allowing me to compile this driver into the kernel (rather than as a module), but that's another story.

Yeah, I eventually figured that out my lots of googling and comparing the sources. Soon. You can get the drivers from them. INstall a "base system" on a PATA disk (used) and then compile and reboot with the new drivers... The problem is I don't have abas system to install onto, unless I recycle the current system. I'm guessing all I need to do is copy the files over to the RAID1 partitions, chroot and install a LILO boot block...? Then you can chroot install on the Card and then install the same kernel and then install grub. From there, it is just a matter of getting it to work. Which is a bit of a shame, since I'd really like to start with the new sarge release. But I figured the only way I could do that would be to create my own custom kernel and boot media... which might be interesting... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
