Martin, Actually, my IDE MEgaRAID is not a separate PCI card but actually build into the mobo. However, I think it is the same chipset and the same drivers from AMI should work in either case. I have seen instructions on installing these with RH Linux, but I am still unclear on the correct sequence of operations to configure the built in MegaRAID drivers in the Suse 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernel releases. I already have the mobo BIOS configured for the RAID drive, I just need to have this relayed to Linux so I can install. Any ideas there? I've checked the links you sent below and they are great, but I could not find the installation instructions I was hoping for. Thanks again! Babu --- Martin Webster <mwebster@ntlworld.com> wrote:

I pretty much agree with your recommendations. I did some further snooping on the AMI web pages and found they have a similar driver and patch for Redhat 7.0 and I also found a driver patch and instructions (I am inserting them below) to patch Linux. Is

any way to tell if this will work with Suse Linux 7.0 or 7.1 short of just trying it?
You mentioned the AMI MegaRAID (a PCI card). If your mainboard uses the same chipset then I do see why you can't use the AMI MegaRAID driver which is part of the stock 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels.
Have a look here:

Sorry, a typo that changed emphasis: "then I do see why" should read "then I don't see why".
