Hi all,
I just got a JMicron JMB362/363 Fake RAID (SoftRAID). I searched the internet, and most are M$ drivers, and some mention Linux. None seem to have a real good idea how to get it to work properly. Does anyone know of a method to let opensuse read the hardware raid setup off of the controller, and not the separate drives.
I have: uname -a Linux Linux 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-04-25 21:48:33 +0200 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
on an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+ CPU and a GA-K8N Ultra-9 Mobo.
There is a Sil 3114 SATA controller on the Moboard, also with Softraid problems. Another onboard SATA controller NVIDIA CK804 SATA RAID has the same problem.
In the past, drivers could be installed in windows with the F6 to load drivers. How is it done in a Linux install?
:-)
I'm guessing you have an MSI motherboard. You are probably using the nvidia raid controller. I have a similar setup: 18:18 archangel:~> lspci <snip> 00:06.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] IDE (rev a1) <snip> 00:08.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] PCI Bridge (rev a1) 00:09.0 RAID bus controller: nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] SATA Controller (RAID mode) (rev a2) 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP77 Ethernet (rev a2) <snip> 04:00.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technology Corp.
