Areca.
3ware seems to be sitting on their laurels lately. That makes
me very uneasy.
What you want is Areca. http://www.areca.com.tw

As I said earlier, SW RAID wass out of question: the box was to
have multi-OS installation.
You ARE using software raid, just with some BIOS support and drivers for
windows. That doesn't change it from being software raid. I think I

Yeah, that's what I'm really thinking about : to install Knoppix onto the
HDD, and then to upgrade (or downgrade?) ;) it to Sarge.
Although I like the Knoppix interface .. ;)
Thank you for the idea :)

tony,
a normal system looks like following:
PCI Bus - 33 MHz fixed
AGP - 66MHz fixed
FSB - Front Side Bus - variable, normally (usually) 200MHz on intel and amd
platforms.
Now, the issue you're talking about:
My Athlon64 3000+ runs at 1800 MHz real. That's 200 FSB * 9.
If I raise FSB to 278, 27

Unnecessary installa
Amazing !!!
Knoppix found my HDD without any questions and mapped my ntfs partitions as
read only into /mnt/sda1...10 .. GREAT !
Kernel is 2.6.11 (newest Knoppix live CD, just got it from the website an
hour ago or so..)
Alright, here's what you wanted. :)

You'll be loosing sympathy fast if you insist on creating unnecessary

Look, some web pages say, my Neo2 Platinum uses 3114, you say it uses 3512.
I'm confused. But anyway, it uses sata_sil, in that we agree at least, so

already, we just need to put it into the menu of the debian installer as a

While the SiI controllers should normally be fairly well supported,
