Hi, I have a Gygabite MotherBoard with Sil3114 Raid Chipset and 2 HD. Into the bios of Sil 3114 I have set one Raid0 so when I boot the PC (before the boot manager menu) I see the text: "Sil0 138GB". Ok, it is correct. Now I want to install Suse 9.3 Pro, I boot from DVD and I see 2 HDx73GB and not HD 1x138GB. Why ? This is correct ?
Hello, I'm trying to use Sil3114 Raid too. Into the Bios of Sil 3114 I have set one Raid1 with 2 HDx73GB. Yast shows me than one of them (73GB) and I createt one partition "/work" for my data with Yast. (I don't know if I done right.) It seems running OK. But I'm looking for a manage tool, too see if the raid is working OK. Something how the :-) Adaptec-StorageManager for SCSI. Your problem is: AFAIK booting or install "/" (root) to raid0 is impossible. If you really want raid "/" then: (But its not good. Copy it to a spare part, for rescue booting; is better) First make a "/boot" part and a raid1 "/" and then try install to "/" Raid0 is a good choice for "/var" ; "/var/tmp" ; "/tmp" A good start is here: http://www.nyx.net/~sgjoen/disk.html http://www.nyx.net/~sgjoen/disk-4.html -- Ciao Marco, registered GNU/Linux-User 313353
