Re: [expert] Help: Install LM on an raid array ???

2000-05-26 Thread Ulf Kohlmorgen

I've tried it witch Mandrake 7.01, Cooker Beta 3, Suse 6.4, Gentus 2.0 and
Redhat 6.2 but none of these worked. With beta 3 during installation startup
I can see that it recognizes the raid controller (it's a bit too fast so I
can't actually say what information is displayed) but that's all.

U.K.

I got the same setting on my server too...
Loading up your windows, copy down the address of your UltraDMA66 Raid Card Address

I've been looking into RAID controllers and my understanding is that the
Promise is not Linux friendly, have you used it successfully on other
distros/versions?
