Hi all,
I stuck my new motherboard in yesterday, and immediately had to boot my
Gentoo rescue disk because I had forgotten to recompile my kernel with
support for the Highpoint 374. The install disk recognized the thing
fine and put my normal Linux disk on /dev/hdi, as it was the only drive
on the controller (and I have a Promise controller that takes precedence
somehow). HOWEVER, rebooting with the device as /dev/hdi and with the
new kernel, I can't get the filesystem to mount. So, I decided to go
back to VIA IDE. Not a good plan, because the new controller + DMA
don't seem to like kernel 2.4. (read: DMA won't enable). So, I've
decided I really have to go back to the Highpoint (under the Gentoo
disk, I actually got performance out of my Maxtor 5400 RPM disk on the
Highpoint equivelant to my Deathstar 120GXP 7200 RPM on the Promise, so
it seems like a good plan. But I'm wondering- what device do I use?
Here's how things seem to be arranged, to give a better picture:
IDE0 + IDE1 - standard VIA IDE, hda-hdd
Promise IDE0 + IDE1 - PCI card, hde-hdh
Highpoint 374 RAID controller (no RAID setup, just one IDE disk),
labeled IDE2-IDE5, would it then be hdi-hdp?
TIA
Bob Raymond
