Thank you, I checked the above link but that information is from 2004 and I am not sure if it is not outdated. The libata driver is installed, and the sata_sil module is loaded.
In the past, when running up against the lack of drivers for raid or fakeraid devices I have found that its often just as easy to find a jumper or bios setting that turns off the raid controller software and use the card as a regular drive multi-channel controller and build a Software Raid on it. I realize this might not be helpful if you are trying to access the data already on the raid.
As the raid set is detected and can be activated in knoppix live system but not in openSUSE (even in the newest 11.4 live system) there must be some difference between the two linux systems that causes whether the raid set is recognized or not. I would like to find these differences then I might be able to change openSUSE accordingly.
Thanks, Istvan
Most likely a module in openSUSE that is compiled into the knoppix kernel. You can try manually adding missing the module during the openSUSE install. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
