Problems with SuSe 9.3 installation in SATA Raid 1
Please someone help me!!!!!!!!!!! I want to install SuSe 9,3 professional edition in one desktop computer with two SATA hard disks connected in RAID 1 mode (security). Till now I can´t install SuSe on that system. During the installation SuSe shows me a message that says that SuSe don´t support his kind of RAID functionality (it also says that in kernel 2,4x some RAID chipset, like Promise, were supported but in kernel 2,6x they are not supported at all). I read that I should create a diskette with some modules (or something like that) in order my kernel and SuSe installation system detects the two disks as a RAID. I actually see in the partition section of SuSe installation program the disks as independiently units and not like a single one. The computer has an AMD 64 3200+ (core Winchester) microprocessor, motherboard ASUS A8V Deluxe and two SATA Western Digital hard disks (250GB each disk). The motherboard has two RAID controllers one made by VIA and other made by Promise. The RAID is connected to the Promise controller (Promise Fastrack 20378). The disk is actually partitioned in this way: Primary: 38 GB NTFS; WinXP 64 bits is installed in this partition Extended: 38 GB NTFS; WinXP 32 bits is installed in this partition 90 GB FAT32; Data The avaiable disk space is for SuSe (actually is unpartitioned) I need no to lose the data that I have on the three partitions that I have in my system (the other system are working well with the RAID and I have several GBs of data in the other partition) Please apologize me because my english is not enough good as I want it to be!!!
