I installed SuSE 7.1 this weekend, but I have problems getting Linux to work with my Promise Fasttrak66 IDE RAID controller.
Linux does not support the RAID functionality of the Fasttrack. Promise is currently developing (binary only!) drivers, that will someday appear on the Promise web site. You'll have to check there. We will *not* include the Promise drivers in our distribution as they're binary only. If you want real hardware RAID (the Fasttrack only does software RAID) with good Linux support, do yourself a favour and buy one of the 3Ware controllers (check out http://www.3ware.com ). Drivers are in the standard 2.4.X kernels and in our 2.2.X kernels. -- Penguins to save the dinosaurs -- Handelsblatt on Linux for S/390
