I think there's a warning when you install that the 2.6 kernel does not support Promise and similar software RAID, you should use the LINUX software RAID instead.
I don´t understand when you say "use the LINUX software RAID instead." How I do that? Can you explain me more detailed what I have to do Thanks Emiliano Sutil

You need to search your installed help files for the software raid howto, which is also on the net. The advantages of software raid is you can combine any types of disk into a raid, scsi, ide, etc. you are not limited by the speed of the hardware controller (CPUs are much faster today and can do this work better than most hardware controllers, and speed scales up when you upgrade machines, but the hardware controller is never going to get any faster than it is right now.) very bullit proof, tested over many years. No need to wait for drivers to be released Disadvantage: A bit more work to set up -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
