Ok Here I go , I recently bought 3 Abit KT7A-RAID Mobos from Ebay. I also bought 2 80gig IDE Hard drives for one. I was planning to make a RAID level 0 (striping). I set the hard drives up with the utilitiy that they provided and set the boot device to the first raid. I then booted into the install and it saw the two as 2 seperate hds, any ideas? Oh and I can't seem to make any of the video cards i have to work. one is the geforce 32meg the other is the geforce 64meg and the other is a ati rage 100?
Does that board have a High Point HPT370 Raid Controller, than the answer is that there is no support/drivers for this controller at this time. I have the same problem I got the Epox EP-8K7A+ with the HPT370 Controller set it up last night with 2 new Maxtor 20GB HDD's. Now I'm just very disappointed. The High Point Tech web site says on their home page that the controller is supported under all Linux distro's. However, after some investigation I found that it only supports it as standard IDE controller. There is a patch on there web site for it. I also found out that if you want the Raid 1 0 than your choses are NetBSD, FreeBSD, or the windows. :-( Moral: Read the fine print.
