Getting Promise Fasttrak66 RAID working in SuSE 7.1
Hi, I installed SuSE 7.1 this weekend, but I have problems getting Linux to work with my Promise Fasttrak66 IDE RAID controller. I mounted two 20 GB IDE disks on the controller - one on each channel, and both as slaves (since else the cable wasn't long enough :p) The card recognizes the drives fine, and I created a RAID 0 array of 40 gigs. SuSE install, however, only sees one of the discs, and apparently not as an array (since it recognizes it as an IBM <insert model no here>). I went to www.promise.com where it says that rpms for redhat are available - can I use them for anything at all ? Any help available at all ? Is it possible to boot Linux off the RAID controller ? I assume I need to somehow recompile the kernel with support for the controller, if support for it is not available via kernel modules. Any help would be highly appreciated :) -- Med venlig hilsen / Regards Klaus Agnoletti System Administrator / System Test Engineer Filanet Europe Herlev Hovedgade 82c, 1.
