OK, I had Mandrake 6.0 working all fine and good on
my box that was running with intels l440gx+ motherboard that basically has
everything built in including a adaptec AIC7896 scsi controller with RAIDport
III support(which doesn't work in linux). So in order to get a RAID
functional, I obtained a compatible I20 compliant RAID card (DPT PM1554U2 Decade
SMARTRaid V controller) and am trying to reinstall linux onto it. I have
gotten the custom linux installation to recognize both scsi controllers, but now
it does not seem to find the builtin ethernet(intel etherexpress pro 100), nor
can it install the bootloader or create a boot floppy. It has no problem
installing the packages to the hard drive on the adaptec controller, nor does it
have a problem with mounting the RAID(4 9gig hd RAID level 5). I don't
know if I need to use the supplementary disk, but I am even having trouble
locating the image for those disks. I also have tried several combinations
with the settings for both controllers but have not had any success. Does
anyone have any ideas to get this machine working?
