The patch for my raid controller doesn't seem to work as I whish
I am trying to enable my Promise FastTrak S150 TX2plus in my Debian machine. The kernel is 2.4.22 and I have applied the following patch to the kernel. http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/kernel-patch-2.4-fasttraks150 I need to compile the driver into the kernel as the raid will cover / (root). But it doesn't seem to work. This is my kernel config.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect your problem is here: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_OLD=y CONFIG_PDC202XX_BURST=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_NEW=y CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE=y I have an onboard Promise interface, and it took some experimentation with these four configuration options to get it to work. I needed # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_OLD is not set # CONFIG_PDC202XX_BURST is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_NEW=y CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE=y and it's important to note that if I also set PDC202XX_OLD and/or PDC202XX_BURST, it would not work. The documentation for these options seems to clearly indicate that you want PDC202XX_NEW and not PDC202XX_OLD. So I'd try setting _NEW and unsetting _OLD, and then playing with the other two options. Note also that this is merely to make the kernel see the device properly. To treat it as a RAID, in addition to enabling the ATARAID options (which it looks like you did), I'm pretty sure you'll also need to set up the disk array first, using the appropriate actions when the FastTrak BIOS executes. I don't know much about that, since I use the Promise interface merely as an IDE bus expansion, to get 4 more drives. You might want to do the same, and use Linux software RAID instead of the Promise card's RAID, since the performance is usually better that way. -c -- Chris Metzler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove snip-me. to email) As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized. - Chief Luther Standing Bear pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
