Hi all, I was trying to install SUSE9 for AMD64 on tyan K8W board with SIL-3114 before recent ISO Patch. After unhappy attempt to use RAID1 there came reproducible terrible sounds from one of two HDDs (like if damaged HDD-head hits the clipper), then in order to get somehow into a RAID setup I've disconnected one HDD and get into RAID setup successfully. I've deleted RAID1 Set (having only one of two HDDs attached) and prooved that PC passes RAID report screen OK. Then I've found that I can't apply easily the same procedure for a second HDD, RAID Controller hangs badly and after several minutes of hanging i get into RAID1 setup and can't delete RAID1 Set from this HDD. Well, there's no bad sounds anymore after deleting RAID1 set just from first HDDs (BTW, interesting why?). So, I hope it is a problem of SIL-3114, and not the problem of HDD. Here I've found a new RAID BIOS for SIL-3114: http://12.24.47.40/display/2/kb/article.asp?aid=10757 but there is no any instuction on how to write it... (I don't want to crash BIOS of my motherboard) any good links? have anyone tried this BIOS already? thanks a priori. kind regards, Valery A.Khamenya --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bioinformatics Department BioVisioN AG, Hannover
