hello boys, since this might be of public interest, here's a short manual how to set up bloody promise fasttrak 100 tx-2 (20270 chipset) ide raid controller on a Suse 8 System. (yes I made it run! I'm the greatest!!) 1. get the drivers from promise.com and read carefully readme.txt 2. do exactly what they write in readme.txt until you experience first problems (they will come soon enough ;-) 3. You will find out that suse setup found 3 hard disks: /dev/hda, /dev/hde and /dev/sda or similar. This is wrong. you should only see /dev/sda. 4. ignore this fact and install everything into /dev/sda 5. in boot options (suse setup) define user boot loader (don't use lilo) 5. make your choices on software etc, setup keyboard, setup time, just the normal stuff. 6. start setup. 7. After copying all packages onto your harddrive you may experience setup saying: "cannot write mbr" 8. now you have to leave the readme.txt path. Ignore this error message and continue. You will fix that later. 9. After completeing the setup just as normal, you root into the shell and mount your floppy and start sh setup-ft 10. check whether the kernel images are in /boot. if they are not, /etc/lilo.conf will be missing too. install them from package k_deflt 11. if the kernel images are there, check lilo.conf. Check the append lines for syntax errors (wrong tokens). Check the disk = parameter. if needed change it to /dev/sda 12. install mbr to /dev/sda using lilo command (see man lilo how to do it) 13. using lilo command define the proper boot device (/dev/sda) 14. run lilo 15. reboot - it should work now. Remark: I didn't have to install k_deflt package in my last attempt. The way to solve these problems may be other than what I described above. Thanks to everybody who tried to help me. Philipp

Hello
I already asked that in suse sle list and searched the internet for an answer. You pro's here are my last hope. Has anybody in here set up a promise fasttrak 100 tx2 (20720 chipset) successfully on a Suse 8.0 system? If yes, please write me privately. I've lost the whole week trying to set up Suse 8 and I can't get it to work. Please help.
Thank you, Philipp
