When you say RAID, are you talking software or through the BIOS of
an
onboard controller?
Software - I'm not expecting/requiring the m/b (pseudo)-raid to be supported.(although that said, FreeBSD did pick up the nVidia raid 0+1 out of the box - it just can't use the full 4GB of ram w/o falling over.
I would recommend using software RAID setup during installation.
That was the plan, although that is where U64 failed.
I have put a similar system together, based on the same chipset, actually just the Fatality version (wasn't worth the extra money,
IMO).
Is it similar enough to include the full 4GB ram?
[Black, Alain] My system is an AMDX2 4200+, software RAID 1 configured during install running SUSE 10.0
Thanks to everyone for their feedback. So far, so good - I'm part way through a net install of Suse 10.0. It's already past the major hurdles of recognising the full 4gb of ram *and* formatting the drives as raid 1. Although, it is times like these when you wish you didn't live in the middle of nowhere and can only get a 128k connection! Robert
